TAM Rubber Stamp Archive

The TAM Rubber Stamp Archive started in 1983 by sending out the first sheets into the network Ruud knew then, and is now already 25 years old. Still more contributions come in and only rarely the normal public can get a glimpse of what the archive contains. Several documentations about this archive are previously made, and online a large cataloge is available. (You can find an overview of all important details mentioned in previous publications (see also www.iuoma.org).

4 Collage Stampsheet returned



Not often a 4-collage stampsheet returns to the TAM-Rubberstamp Archive. They sometimes are collected by someone with a mail-art archive as well I believe. A pitty, because these sheets deserve to be in the archive for sure. Contributions by: Massimo Medola (Italy), Mark Greenfield (UK), Keith Bates (UK) and MailartMartha (UK).
Thanks for returning Martha!

TAM Rubberstamp Archive Address List


1996-version


1994 version


1995 version

Over the years I have kept a database with all the addresses of mail-artists that contributed to the TAM-Tubberstamp Archive. The list grew over the decades and contains also the historic addresses. I printed the list every month and send old versions into the network. Some versions I kept in the TAM-Archive and above you find three old versions. The 1996-version was 50 pages thick....
