Brown University is proud to offer two zine collections as well as individual zines by title. The first is the Sarah Doyle Zine Collection and the second is the Malana Krongelb Zine Collection. Both collections focus on zines by and about people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other queer peoples, and disabled individuals, among other groups. Topics include interpersonal violence, sex and relationships, sex work, the prison industrial complex, self-care, feminism, and punk.
