Guide to the Royal Mail Archive

Two guides to the Royal Mail Archive are available for download. The Guide to the Royal Mail Archive gives an overview of all the records we have in the Archive - our records have been divided into POST classes, covering a wide range of subjects. This Overview Guide explains what records are held in each POST class and also has a subject index at the back where you can cross reference key words. The Royal Mail Archive: At a Glance gives a concise overview of the Royal Mail Archive. It is a quick alternative to the main Guide.
