Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Nicole Emmenegger <nicole AT jennywoolworth.ch>]

    hey Dina, thanks for the shout-out! fyi here's a link to the blog entry about library-based riot grrrl archives: http://www.jennywoolworth.ch/deardiary/2010/09/riot-grrrl-part-1/.
    
    The Zine Wiki and the Queer Zine Archive are two digital zine archiving projects that I know about. Elka Zobl hosts the Grrl Zine Network, not an archive but a useful resource. A few years back Anne-Marie Paine (aka Miss AMP) and Corinne Gerber started an online riot grrrl zine archive, The Riot Project, which has sadly died. But they probably still have many of the scans available, should a new online home be found for them...
    
    Would love to be involved in any type of project like this!

    > P.S. Here's an example of an digital library: http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/dada/digitaldadalib/index.html I would like the Women in Punk multimedia library to have actual digital versions of artifacts like zines and books long out of print. Nicole's archive is wonderful, but my idea is a step in an "equal but different" direction. Does an online library exist for riot grrrl?

So I could apply my new learning to a topic I know and love as well as honor her legacy?

I would like to start small just for class projects and assignments, and then maybe I could get some grant money to fund something bigger?
