- Biographical / historical:
Zines are non-commercial, small circulation "Do It Yourself" (DIY) magazines. The term "Zines" comes from "fanzines" or fan magazines. Precursors to the modern zine include Thomas Paine's Common Sense and other leaflets published and distributed to the masses in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The modern zine evolved from the science fiction fanzines of the 1930s. In the early 1980s the emergence of the personal computer and photocopiers led to a "zine revolution", and today's underground publishing movement was born. Today's zines cover a myriad of topics and reflect their creator's interests; they can be about anything from women's rights or politics to libraries. Zines can be produced by anyone with access to a photocopier from homeless teenagers to librarians.
