The BPMA Handstamp Collection
December 3rd, 2009 admin
by Freya Folåsen, Cataloguer (Collections) The British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA) museum collection has just about any object type one can think of when it comes to the British postal service: postal stationary, pens and stamps; letterboxes and sorting machines; vehicles and uniforms. A very large part of the collection consists of handstamps: these are implements used to apply a postmark by hand. The BPMA has several thousand handstamps which are in the process of being catalogued and made available online, and 952 handstamps were added to our online catalogue yesterday.

Channel 4Down BMX :: Substance Vol.We didn't want to just feel like we were going through the motions making this years catalogue. scrambling for riding photos at the last minute, then slapping them next to a bunch of random product shots just feels a bit outdated. if we are to continue putting something out in print when information is so current on the internet, making this catalogue had to be something that would be enjoyable, and feel like there was a good reason behind it, as well as being productive. A Selection of our team riders we're invited down to Hastings for 4 Days in the sun, and we would only use what we got in those days. Some only just made it down the road before car troubles, and some carried on a Friday Night right into a day by the seaside. This edit captures all the riding and behind the scenes action into what went into making this catalogue, to download a pdf of the catalogue, or find out how to get a hard copy, then just visit the site.
