Archives: The Antheon and other literary publications

This guide describes the materials stored in the Kingsborough Library Archives.

Literary Publications from KCC Students

Kingsborough's student literary magazine, The Antheon, has been published for many years. The Archives does not own a complete set of Antheons, but we do hold many years' worth. At this point, the Antheon is not stored online. The Antheons in the Archive are listed below. 

Additionally, other literary publications have been created by Kingsborough students. They include the Mace, a literary supplement to the Scepter, and Plain English, a publication produced in the 1970s.
