History is made daily, it is up to us to document it, our own way. As editors of existir we are honored and proud to do that in a small way by these community made zines/collections of our histories.
We are happy to say copies of each of our volumes will be kept at the California Ethnic & Multicultural Archives (CEMA) at UCSB Library! Thank you to Angel for reaching out to us and being the archive’s curator.
