The Little Magazine collection was created in the 1960s in response to the flourishing San Francisco Renaissance. SFPL librarians began collecting sometime in 1966, and a collection of 40 titles was opened to the public in the old Main Library's Literature Department in 1967. Wild Dog, Beatitude, Black Dialogue, Hollow Orange, The Journal for the Protection of All Beings, Cow, and Despite Everything were among the first titles held by the Library. After the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989 the collection was transferred to the Humanities Department, then in 1993 to its current home in Book Arts & Special Collections. Zines made their first appearance in the collection in 1991. The collection holds over 1,200 titles. |
| Summary |
The Little Magazine Collection documents the underground/alternative press of the San Francisco Bay Area. Little magazines representing almost every literary movement from the 1940s to the present, political little mags, and self-published zines form the core of the collection. Little magazines and zines from beyond the Bay Area but associated with San Francisco--through content, contributors, or editors--are also collected. The collection also includes newspaper clippings and other ephemeral materials. |
| Note |
Some titles available also in microform in the Underground Newspaper Collection. |
