THE ANNUAL CORRESPONDENCE SOCIETY
PRIDE POST · ESTABLISHED 2019
Thoughtfully composed. Individually prepared. Personally entrusted to the post. Every Pride Post letter follows a considered process, from the first reflection to its place in the archive.
01 / THE LETTER
Before the paper is chosen or the ink is set, there is a moment of consideration. Who deserves to hear these words? What should be remembered? What does gratitude mean in this particular correspondence?
Each letter is composed individually, with attention to its recipient and the thoughts it seeks to convey. The final correspondence is reviewed, written by hand and personally signed by the author.
02 / THE MATERIALS
The physical character of a letter is part of its meaning.
01
Paper
Paper is selected for its texture, feel and suitability for a letter intended to be kept.
02
Ink
Ink is chosen for legibility and the character it brings to the written word.
03
The Seal
The Society’s mark provides a final identifying detail. Each letter is prepared and sealed before it is entrusted to the post.
04
The Envelope
A considered combination of paper, typography and finishing, designed to make the correspondence recognisable without being ostentatious.
03 / THE JOURNEY
Each letter is individually prepared, signed, sealed and posted through the relevant national postal system. Its journey becomes part of its story.
04 / PRESERVATION
A record beyond the moment.
Following dispatch, approved details of each correspondence may be recorded in the Society’s annual archive. Private letter contents are not displayed in the public collection. Any digital recipient access will require a separate, secure process.
