YOUTH PRINT ARCHIVE CO-OPERATIVE
Established in 2026, the Youth Print Archive Co-op (YPAC) is an anti-profit, collectively-contributed archive of youth underground print material: zines, posters, pamphlets, paper objects, and the like.
All* contributions are published, and all contributions are written directly by their creators. All we do is copy/paste those contributions to this site.
The aim of this archive is to assist in cultivating a free, open-access network of print activity amongst youth participating in art, music and political organizing across the U.S.A. and beyond. The hope is that this archive aids in the cross-pollination of ideas--that it helps folks find each other for collaboration, inspiration, and friendship.

THE YOUTH PRINT ARCHIVE CO-OP (EST. ‘26) IS:
#1 An archive of underground print material: zines, posters, pamphlets, paper objects, and the like. Print is a mode of talking, a way of stomping around, a good method of “HEY THIS IS WHAT I THINK!!!” But what’s it about PAPER? You tell me. Is it that you can hold it in your hands? That each piece was touched by a real person who cares and thought long/hard and worked long/hard to get it onto this physical form? Or is it that it’s slowed down, not incessantly barking at you like your damn ph*ne? Is it that it’s a means of communication that circumvents that incessant proliferation of internet surveillance? Is it that we’re just really trained to see things in book format because it’s the most traditional, palatable way to take in information? Is it not about the paper itself, but rather something much more mysterious? YOU TELL ME!
#2 An anti-profit initiative that operates only for the mutual, shared, collective benefit of its participants: lookers, readers, contributors, doers, you name it. Opening this archive is an opportunity, if only for a few free minutes, to hop off the capitalist hamster wheel that forces us everyday to contribute to it simply by way of living and breathing. This archive knows no symbols that symbolize money, all it knows is code that shows all that long/hard thinking and long/hard working of those making paper objects. And showing all that thinking and working serves as a tool for the CROSS-POLLINATION of ideas. In a time of threats to free speech, free talking, free sharing, it’s important to create and protect spaces that encourage the laissez-faire (haha) movement of opinions. Let the people talk! Up, out, down, around! Make way for inspiration, collaboration, solidarity, friendship, and COMMUNITY!
#3 An open-access, no-barriers-to-entry co-operative collectively contributed to and run by YOUTH! Why youth? Well surely older folk can make important things–of course! However, it’s often the youth that are the naive-for-their-own-benefit, un-shut-up-able drivers for social and political change. They’re the ones that got here not too long ago, aren’t jaded quite yet, and often don’t have too much to lose. They’ve got a sort of fearlessness in the face of authority that is wildly effective at scaring those spineless, cowardly politicians. So, this archive is dedicated to the work of youth working in art, political organizing, music, and whatever else they decide to do.
Youth Revolution Now!
YPAC operates under the following:
#1 ALL contributions are published* → *Minus anything that is racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise bigoted, of course.
#2 Contributions can be submitted HERE and will be copy and pasted directly into the archive. No middle man meddling.
#3 Contributions are added to the archive about every month, because one must REFUSE to be glued to the computer.
#4 Every contribution is put into this online archive, but there is a physical archive as well, which contributors can be a part of via the postal service of their liking.
#5 Direct all correspondences to youthprintarchivecoop@gmail.com
