Some Mail-Artists have been doing Mail-Art for a longer time and have saved all they get in, documented what they sent out, collected books, magazines and documentations, and before they knew it were the owner of a Mail Art Archive. Tell us more...

Dear Chuck Welch,
thanks for this information. I have foun my event on the position number 335 on box 3.
"335
Name: Raphael Nadolny
Address: ul. Krancowa 2, Mosina 62050, Poland
Date: September 14, 1992
Items: NC92 statement, "It's not really how you say what you have to say. If you write, if you dance, if you paint, if you play music, it's all the same thing. It's not merely what you show. In Networking, it reflects the ARTIST in his full capacity of sensing, of feeling, of thinking, of ordering, of sensing things which only he senses. And he can show other Networkers it as he wants."
The congress was so decentralized that we were often unaware of what was happening in the world in Poland.
But there is also - apart from the statistical item - content related to specific events during individual sessions of Congress.

A few years later, when the decentralized world wide networker congress (1992) took place, I made a work in which I used the envelope in which the work made by Andrzej Dudek Durer was sent (he was already implementing the idea of recycling, once again using envelopes sent from other people - in my case it was a envelope with stamps from Bulgaria).
This workis referred to the eschatology and artistic strategy chosen by Andrzej Dudek Durer, his connections with the work of Albrecht Durer, which had been created several centuries earlier. AD 1993.
It was in end of 1988. I went to the Post Office to send a letter to my friend and saw there a mail art exhibition. I don't remember the title now. It was very interesting for me. I saw information it was organized by "Mój Świat" - a teenage magazine. Then I bought this magazine and found a special part about mail art in it. Finally I started to send mail in this Network. I send the first letter - as Mail Art - to Andrzej Dudek Durer (https://mailartists.wordpress.com/2010/09/04/andrzej-dudek-durer/). In response, I got his beautiful artistic work (date.08.03.1989) and 6 addresses to other mail artists in Poland. It was the first art work I received via mail.
I returned to Mail Art after about 25 years of absence. During this time I was involved in various artistic activities, but rather alone, without cooperation with others. But I was missing something. In the meantime, the world was overwhelmed by globalization, access to social media, but it was not something for me. That is why I took out from the attic of my house, cardboard boxes with correspondence from the old days, which already had the value of an archive. Again, letters with works of art began arriving by mail. At the same time, these boxes, brought from the attic, reveal their interesting contents. At this point, I intend to share a part of it with others.
I'm on it! :)
