Zine drop-ins flier

This fall we're hosting dedicated Zine Cataloguing Parties again, the first Monday of every month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to come help catalogue new zines in our collection. It’s a fun and nerdy way to read zines and meet other zine enthusiasts. Contact anchorarchive@gmail.com for more information or just show up and bring a laptop or tablet if you can.

Our Fantasies: An Anthology of Daydreams

black line drawing of title on purple background
We asked people to share what they daydream about, whether it was mundane or fantastical, possible or impossible. The result is an anthology of short writing by over 70 authors, plus several illustrations.

From cozy dream homes, to making out in an alley after a protest, to abolishing capitalism this collection represents fantasies that range from mundane to sexy to violent, but always vulnerable and illuminating.

We hope it will help you put words to your own longings.
