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...

HI!
I was wondering if some of you people could help me.
I'm doing a research around a small set of audioworks (cassette-tapes and CD) by mail-artists (Klaus Groh, Lenir de Miranda, José Vandenbroucke, Raffaele Cuomo) that I found in my uni's (Federal University of Pelotas a.k.a UFPel, Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil) phonographic archive and right now I'm looking for copies (scans, in fact) of the Temple Post zine edited by José Vandenbroucke. And since I saw a comment by Raphael Nadolny with pictures of mail-art sent by José, I thought some of you people could have in your collections issues of Jose's Temple Post.
Besides that (and this one is a bit of a stretch, indeed), I'm also looking for letters, objects, cassette-tapes etc that Lenir de Miranda might have sent to other mail artists. You see, Lenir taught at UFPel and she created/organized a mail-art archive kept here, but it got lost at some point (most likely it got discarded, UFPel has little to no regard for its own institutional history). Therefore, preserved correspondence/mail-art she sent could serve as a sort of counterpart for the lost archive. Maybe you people know (or are) older mail-artists who corresponded with her. I'll include a scanned flyer of the first (and only) international mail-art exhibition held here in Pelotas containing some of the names of artists with whom she probably got in touch with directly:
Thanks for the reminder of the 1992 Congress borderlinegrafix. Quite a momentus year in many ways - when our son Archie was born for one thing. All i seem to have on Flickr is this pic/postcard from Peter and Angela Netmail in Germany visiting Antonio in Italy on their world tour. he dropped by London that year and we had a chat in a cafe near where I was working in South London. Crackerjack Kid visited too but dont think it was 1992.
