Covid-19 post

Throughout 2020, the post has been a lifeline for communities across the UK and the world. It’s carried our thoughts to those we have been separated from and supported those that rely on it for vital supplies.

When the Postal Museum in London closed its doors temporarily in March, they encouraged people to connect with loved ones and support those self-isolating.

Now, three months later, they’re asking for help to capture this moment in time. Have you received post during the pandemic that has had a special meaning to you?

Our friends at the museum are looking for letters, envelopes, greetings cards, parcels and packaging, which have been sent or received in the post since March.

If you have an item you want to be considered for the museum's collection, click here to find out how you can take part in their project to document the Covid-19 crisis by submitting items you’ve received via post during the pandemic.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Postal Museum still hasn’t been able to open its doors, but they have been busy behind the scenes to ensure the museum can reopen safely later this year. Click here for more. Remember, with a valid ID, Royal Mail colleagues can access the museum for free.
