Before the Web was a thing, people interested in underground music subcultures gathered a lot of their intel from fanzines. Working on a research about local subcultures, I had to realize just how little data is out there about these zines and how hardly accessible these materials are – especially in the country I reside in now. So, I started maintaining an archive.org account for Hungarian underground fanzines from the past decades that deal with industrial/cyberpunk music/subculture, at least to a small extent.

You can find that archive at https://archive.org/details/@hungarian_underground_zines

The archive currently comprises the following zines:
