History and affiliation

The journal was established at York University's Vanier College and has been funded by Vanier College Council since the journal was founded in 1978.

In 2018 it moved to Founders College and became affiliated with York University's Professional Writing Program in the Writing Department.
Existere has appeared in many shapes and forms since its conception in 1978, but has ultimately retained a 6x9” format since Edward Fenner revived it in 2007. It prints anywhere from 80 to 100 pages, with full-colour covers.
