Blue Hour Zine Library is based in Ottawa, Canada and showcases photography zines submitted by international artists, authors, and publishers. Through this online library, we aim to support and promote independent publications produced by diverse photographers and lens-based artists all over the world, as well as provide accessible resources for students, researchers, and anyone who is interested in learning about zine-making.

Blue Hour has been greatly inspired by Booklet Library, a zine library that has been providing inspiration to zine-makers since 2011. Thank you, Bookletlibrary.org.

We are currently in beta and sorting and documenting zines we already have on-hand, and accepting new submissions. You can view our catalogue on the Library page. We plan to have the zines available for browsing in a physical location once it is safe to do so.

If you’ve made a photo zine and would like it to be included in our library, please head over to the Submissions page.

Feel free to direct any questions to [email protected]. Thanks for being a part of our fun little project!
