I recently got into zine making for a workshop I am running. Since I no longer work at a historical society, I have been trying to think of ways to create online or alternative exhibits. I am excited to share that zines have helped me scratch that creative itch while doing history in a shorter form.
The above zine is about a stereoscope series I have from 1903. While the story is presented in a silly way, it depicts the power imbalance of gender and class of the early 20th century.
If you are interested in a copy, please don’t hesitate to reach out! They will also be for sale at my antique booth.
