The TAM Rubberstamp Archive started in 1983 by sending out the first sheets into the network Ruud knew then, and is now over 35 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 catalogue is available. (You can find an overview of all important details mentioned in previous publications (see also www.iuoma.org).
For me, the most interesting sheets in the archive are the collage sheets. There are several versions of these sheets. 2,3,4 or even 5 participants can be asked to place theior stamps on the paper. Because the sheets travel from country to country it is very interesting to see how the images are collages on the paper. The namestamps indicate who added what.
