How To Digitally Archive a Publication
Hello. We are LeftLion. We’ve been publishing our own magazine for over 20 years now, which is an entertainment and culture guide in Nottingham. However, back in 2019 we also started to take an interest in some other publications from our city that had begun before us and also ended in the pre-internet era. To date we have digitally archived three publications and brought them back in the digital era. These were publications people remembered fondly, but only existed as boxes of paper items in people’s attics and garages and thus the heritage in them was at risk. They had ceased publishing before the real dawn of digital and basically had no internet footprint whatsoever.

So that’s a bit about us and what we do. However, the purpose of this document is to pass on some knowledge and share our own experiences with you in case you are interested in digitally archiving your own fanzine or publication.
