IPRC is an Oregon nonprofit organization offering education, outreach, and a library of more than 9,000 catalogued zines from around the world.[4] The library has the third largest zine collection in the United States, as of 2016.[5] Willamette Week has described the center as an "accessible, community-centric space" offering classes and tools.[6] Workshops include bookbinding, graphic and web design, letterpress printing, and self-publishing, as of 2010.[7]

The center's Youth Sunday program was created in 1998. As of 2015, the program occurs each Sunday, "when employees on-site assist youths in creating their own print media. The program aims to help novices understand the fine points of the growing field of independent publishing."[8] The center hosted an annual print show and sale, as of 2019.[9]

History

IPRC was established in 1998.[10] The organization operated on Portland's west side for its first fifteen years,[11] above the Reading Frenzy at 921 Southwest Oak Street,[12][13] near Powell's Books.[14] The center relocated to a larger space at 1001 Southeast Division Street in 2012.[10] IPRC had approximately 6,000 members, as of mid 2016.[11]

IPRC faced a 300 percent rent increase when the April 2017 lease expired,[11][15] causing the center to relocate to its current location.[16] The organization crowdsourced more than $20,000 to help fund the new space.[17]

Leadership

Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly served as the director of the IPRC before running for office in 2016.[18] Former board president Brian Tibbetts was serving as interim executive director following A.M. O'Malley's departure, as of August 2017. Hajara Quinn served as program director at the time.[16]

Nicole Georges worked for IPRC for fourteen years, initially as an outreach coordinator and later as the center's first comic book instructor.[19]

IPRC has organized the Letterpress Print Fair; in 2019, the center hosted an Open House as part of Design Week Portland.[20]
