Personal zines is one of the largest categories of zines, and the label "perzine" can cover an almost infinite variety of content based on the zinester's identity, creative practice, interests, and life experience. The Schlesinger holds a substantial number of perzines in its collections, including many created by preteens and teenagers and perzines that have run for multiple decades, covering several eras of the creator's life.
To find zines like these, try a HOLLIS search using the form/genre term "zines" plus a keyword term like "perzine" or "personal zine." There is also a separate form/genre term for "personal zines."
