Support the Zine Library!

The Anchor Archive and Radstorm are fundraising to buy the building we're currently in so we have a permanent home! We have the opportunity to buy our building for a great price from our supportive landlords.

Skyrocketing real estate prices in Halifax leave non-profit arts and community spaces like the Anchor Archive at risk of losing our building due to rising rents. We know this too well after having to move 3 times in the last 10 years.

The True Cost of Coal: A Companion Rhyming Book

Colour illustration depicting cars, homes, and electronics plugged into a central city grid
The True Cost of Coal is a rhyming storybook from the Beehive Design Collective. It features lessons and activities related to the story’s themes of ecology, colonial history, workers rights, extreme extraction, community organizing, and regenerative futures alongside Beehive Collective graphics designed specifically for colouring on.

This is the first book adaptation of our collective’s art. We are excited for educators and parents to use this book as a tool to teach complex social and ecological issues to young minds.

Alongside intricately detailed art there is a rhyming and simplified narrative, guiding readers through a winding timeline. The story explores important history often left out of classroom curriculum, inspires the reader to question present-day decision-making systems, and encourages us all to envision our own role in moving towards a sustainable and regenerative future.

Prisoners' Dilemma #3: Examining Labor

"This issue of Prisoners' Dilemma focuses on the idea of labor, examining the destructive impacts of exploitive labor practices, as well as groups that are working to lessen the damage caused by hierarchical worker/boss relationships. This issue also examines the practices of some groups and establishments that have struggled to re0imagine what labor means, making themselves their own bosses, using their energy and resources in a way that benefits their communities rather than enriching the owning class."
