BOOKSHELF: The Asia-Pacific Photobook Archive
The Asia-Pacific Photobook Archive (APPA) is a not-for-profit open-access physical archive of self-published and independent photobooks. The APPA exists as both a travelling library that has been shown at various venues around the world, and as a dedicated permanent space in Melbourne, Australia. Established to promote and showcase material from the Asia-Pacific region, the APPA preserves and makes accessible to current and future generations the broad practices and approaches encapsulated in the production of photobooks in the region.
