I am left pondering several questions:

1. In what ways is having a zine available in a library collection for uses in research different than making them available in a digital format on the web? Does the library seek permission? Are there different laws surrounding the distribution and collection of zines within an academic setting, i.e. class or university library?

2. Historical Record. When does it become a matter of preserving an invaluable historical record? Zines have represented for so many women (and men), including myself, an incredible means of self expression, distribution of thought, community building and riotously joyful activism. It is a record that I know I want preserved for future generations. Where would be without the personal letters between Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady-Stanton? How do we balance the needs of the future with the indivdual needs of the now? How does one navigate this tension?
