ESPA SMALL PRESS LIBRARY & ARCHIVE: CATALOGUE
After almost 10 years in operation, the ESPA has finally launched our online searchable catalogue of our Small Press Library & Archive.
This is a huge undertaking that we project will take us at least 3 years to complete (probably longer), but in the meantime,
guests to the catalogue will be able to search the thousands of zines, mail-art, posters, films, CDs, lefty propaganda and
other independent projects in our permanent collection. To-date we have approximately 600 items entered, and hope to have at
least 2000 entered by the end of 2007.

Donations to our library & archive are accepted year-round.
See the contacts page to send us your stuff - everything we receive will eventually be added to the catalogue, so your donations will be lovingly presented for all the world to see! Don't forget to send us full contact info so we know how to get a hold of you!
If you have donated a project to us in the past 2 years but don't see it in the catalogue yet, please contact us and we'll prioritize your listing.
Many, many thanks to the Edmonton Arts Council,
the University of Alberta's Community Services Learning (CSL)
