Self-publishing has always been an important part of print and, in its 400 years of existence, Leeds has played a leading role. Join us as we take a trip through the history of self-publishing in the city.

Without this history, much of the media we see today would have been very different. Self-publishing - from The Leeds Mercury to music and football fanzines - were the social media of their day, put Leeds on the map, and shaped the city we live in today.

Part of the Leeds Libraries' Leeds400 programme
