The SFPL is listed in many of the main resources (e.g. Barnard). However, I offered to include this long standing collection as an addition to the summary I sent out a couple of days ago.

Subject: Summary from the list: Zine Collections and Resources
Greetings all,
Here is a list of institutions, persons, resources and projects summarized from your responses from our ARLIS/NA and ARLIS/OH/NA e-mail string last week which initially began from my question about identifying zine collections; and also
feminist or Riot Grrrl zine collections. As is the spirit of this group, you shared more. Looks like we have a thriving zine enthusiast/expert constituency in ARLIS (who also know great people who are not on our list).
zineinfo.org and Barnard were cited the most as having fairly comprehensive resource lists.
Thank you again for your generous input! It was challenging to keep up with all the e-mails!
Mo

“…recently acquired 300+ zines on anarchism; but still in process of cataloguing. There’s no plan to digitize them due to copyright issues.
Anarchist zines tend to contain lots of copyrighted materials taken from elsewhere in them, which are problematic.”

Rumor: “I'd heard recently that someone might be putting together a visualization of zine libraries, probably on a map using Google API. However, I hadn't heard anything since this proposed idea to the Zine Librarian Listserv https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/zinelibrarians/info”

“Also, Jenna Freedman is developing a Zine Union Catalog prototype right now, and she will be seeking out NEH money to build it out further…
