Dear visitor

Welcome to the Letter in the Attic website!

By Jack Latimer

Throughout 2008, we're collecting letters and diaries related to Brighton and Hove. We're looking for love letters, diaries of daily life, travel journals, war letters....written centuries ago or in the last few years.

We want to help people look after these precious personal papers. We also want to celebrate their value in a new book and an education pack for schools.

Get a taster of our collection

In a few months, the complete Letter in the Attic catalogue will be published on this website. For now, you can get a sense of the fascinating letters and diaries we're receiving by looking at our online exhibition on the My Brighton and Hove website.

Got any letters and diaries? 

If you think you might have a letter or diary to contribute to the project, please let us know!  You can fill in our contact form with your details and we'll get in touch with you.

Leave your contact details

If you're generally interested in the project, or want to volunteer, please leave your contact details. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
