Bradley Adita zine collection
Scope and Contents
The zines in the Bradley Adita collection were given in multiple donations. The initial donation was given in 2015 and the arrangement of the zines reflects the donor’s organizational system of categories that were divided further into three geographical divisions: Illinois, Iowa, and Non-Illinois or Iowa. Zines and materials given after 2018 were not subdivided into geographic locations by Bradley Adita at the time of donation and the arrangement was imposed during processing. The zines reflect Bradley Adita’s participation in the zine community as creator, collector, and collaborator.
