Zineopolis opened in June 2007 after a group zine project from first year Illustration Degree students at the University of Portsmouth. The zines and comics produced are archived in this site along with zines donated to us and ones specially purchased for the collection. Over the years we hope to build-up a representative collection of zines - we are focussing on zines heavy with visual content.

The collection is coordinated by Dr Jackie Batey and is located within the Illustration BA course at the University of Portsmouth. Dr Maureen O'Neill and Ros Simms also work with Zineopolis.

Research Assistants: Chris Mayhew and Jason James

We would love to hear from other zine makers, library collections or zinefests.
