FAQ

1) How can I order the journal online?

You can order the journal on our Order page! Just fill out the order form to receive an order summary email from us with payment instructions. Payment is made through Paypal or Venmo. Your order is confirmed once the payment is made. We ship through standard mail within three business days after receipt of payment.

2) Which issues are available to purchase and why do you only print in small numbers?

Our homepage (Issues page) shows which issues are still available and which issues are sold out or not available for sale anymore. Each limited print copy is individually stamped and includes a handwritten edition label. We only print between 50 to 100 copies per issue to keep the printing cost low and to create individual booklets that are unique. Each booklet is a collectible within the larger archive of The Invisible Archive journal series.

3) How are the proceeds from the sale of the journals used?

All proceeds made from the journal go towards the writer’s fee and printing costs! Editors and reviewers of The Invisible Archive work pro bono. Our goal is to stay self-funded and to develop a structure that builds and draws directly from our community to reach beyond the limitations of institutionally funded art projects/organizations. Purchasing and reading our journal keeps our organization and mission going!

4) How can I contribute to The Invisible Archive journal project?

There are many ways to contribute to TIA. Reading, promoting the journal, as well as sharing feedback on the journal with us are all valuable contribution as it allows us to stay in communication with our readers. Purchasing our prints is a great way of contributing as all proceeds made from the journal go towards the writer’s fee and printing costs. TIA also receives donations and is grateful for any amount. Any type of contribution allows us to continue the work of documenting the invisible labor, politics, and challenges attached to artistic practices that are vulnerable due to their ephemeral nature, institutional neglect, cultural bias, or politically unpopular content.
