POC Zine Project defines a "legacy zine" as an independent publication created by a person of color (or group led by POC) during the 1700s - 2000 and archived online here.

People of color have produced independent publications (zines) since the 1700s. Many of these zines were political in nature, creating cracks in the lens of white supremacy that shaped popular culture. These zines were new maps to our liberation, countering the negative propaganda of what people of color looked like, thought and were capable of achieving.
