The Fanzines collection of the Hemeroteca General is a collection compiled by the former lecturer at the UAB Faculty of Communication Sciences, Dr. Eugeni Giral. It is constituted by 849 titles of diverse contents in terms of themes, languages and authorship, but with three common characteristics: they are self-published and produced with few resources; although some fanzines are produced by individuals, the largest part of the collection is formed by works of collective creation; the contents are heterogeneous, but they share the fact of addressing phenomena and making visible actors that do not appear in other communication media of the time. The original documents are preserved in the Communication Library and Newspaper and Periodicals Library, in 53 archive containers totaling around 5.50 linear meters.
