I agree with Dan. The problem is that scanning single pages of bound publications is unbelievably boring and time-consuming, especially if you have a busy life and a family. (That's one reason I haven't posted my own zine efforts online, for example.) I definitely think Lizzie or some other motivated archivist should do it, though!

scanned and made into PDFs?
As far as riot grrrl goes, there is the great collection _A Girl's Guide to Taking Over the World: Writings from the Girl Zine Revolution_, edited by Karen Green and Tristan Taormino. Many TGers probably know of this already, but I thought I'd give it a shout out. As someone doing a graduate program in archives, I'm hoping to one day get involved in a digital, national riot grrrl zine archive project...we just have to get it started!
