Summary:

"The RILM Archive of Popular Music Magazines (RAPMM) is an extensive digital collection comprising over 125 independently published popular music magazines and fanzines, in circulation from the late 1960s to the present day. These publications have been meticulously scanned from their original print versions. Reflecting the significance of the do-it-yourself (DIY) ethos central to punk counterculture, a substantial portion of the content highlights the diverse punk and related subgenres that have emerged globally over several decades. Furthermore, the collection includes materials related to various popular music genres, such as rock—from metal to psychedelic rock—as well as hip hop, world music, and country. With its international perspective, the collection provides rich insights into various popular music scenes around the world. The titles in RAPMM have been predominantly published in English; titles in German, Spanish, and Chinese are also included. Each year, new titles will be added to the collection"-- About RAPMM
