| Description: |
An Oral History of the Post Office, which ran from July 2001 until August 2003, records the life stories of a wide range of Post Office staff in the UK. The interviews extend from postmen and postwomen on their rounds to union officials, engineers and senior management. The collection covers postal sorting and transportation as well as stamp design and the lesser-known aspects of the industry such as the Lost Letter Centre. The project documents the enormous changes which have taken place in the stamp and postal services sector within living memory and a compact disc of recorded extracts is currently in preparation. |
