History Hawks: A North Dakota History Zine is a project completed by undergraduate students in History 220: North Dakota History. Zines (pronounced "zeen") are creative, self-published works that have a long history stretching back to the science fiction "fanzines" of the 1930s-1940s, the punk and feminist subcultures of the 1970s-1990s, up through today's plethora of print and digital zines covering every topic imaginable. For History 220, zine creation is a way for students to creatively share stories, knowledge, and ideas about North Dakota’s past with the general public. While students select their own historical topics and create their own designs, each History Hawks zine is based on archival research in the William Langer Papers at the University of North Dakota’s Elwyn B. Robinson Department of Special Collections.
