Burn Pile zine!

We are planning on making a review zine, called Burn Pile. We will review zines made above the 49th parallel. A fun way to say made in Canada and not sound patriotic. So we will be accepting zines for review and hope to have the first issue out for that second to last weekend of may, just in time for the MTL anarchist bookfair. We are also looking for folks who want to review, get in touch if that is you.

OPEN

After a long break we are open again here at the arrow archive. Still plugging away at cataloging the collection, with over 1000 zines to enter into the system this is a long process. Recived a pretty awesome donation over the holiday season which included a few Microcosm staples such as RAD DAD and 13 YEARS OF GOOD LUCK. WOOO zines!

closed

We are gonna be closed for a few weeks we will be open again in the second week of 2012.

Free Stickers

We got Arrow Archive stickers, with a nod to the queer zine archive! Come down to the library to get yours. Will send you a few if you send in your zine to be cataloged!

Cindy Crabb event & NEW ZINES!

If you missed it the Cindy Crabb event is Guelph was super great! It was well attended, even some folks came down from Hamilton! Whoot Whoot. Everything went smoothly. First Adriana Blake talked about her online and small press comic projects, find her stuff here: littleteacup.net
Then Maranda Elizabeth read a few heartfelt pages from her latest installment of Telegram ma'am. Then Cindy read a few of her favotires from her new book. Cindy, Maranda, and Adriana all interacted with the audience answering questions and telling stories about their creations.

so Cindy donated a load of zines to the zine library!
