Rita Schuiling 9 months ago. Thank you! Fascinating! I only intended to 'have a quick look' and here I am, nearly 2 hours and 2 cups of tea later... I had been wondering if and how the 16th century Norwich 'Strangers' escaping religious persecution could have communicated with family and friends left behind in The Netherlands, Belgium and France without possibly giving away the recipients' religious allegiances. And then I somehow landed on this site. I now wonder if any locked and undelivered letters from across the Channel were ever found, or indeed opened letters by way of the black room?
Kari Coates 10 months ago. Fascinating subject. Letterlocking got on my radar about 3 years ago and I am loving the continuing study of the "piggy bank".
Jessie chao 11 months ago. This is amazing!! Thank you so much for this!
Susanne M. 11 months ago. You did a really marvelous job with this online exhibition. I can't remember that I have ever been so fascinated and curious to go on with reading and watching. I'm a free Lance journalist in Bavaria specialized in historic topics and I came across the story about the trunk with the letters when it was published 2015. Now I was browsing to look for new themes and I remembered the story, googled it again and come across your exhibition. I'm so so sorry that there weren't letters found in German as I have to write about topics with german/bavarian relation for my publishers, but I got so many impressions and inputs for new topics and it gave me so much pleasure just looking at all the pictures and the way they are presented. I want to thank all of the team who were or are involved in this topic.
Christian Thomas A year ago. Amazing, peeking into a period of proper and refined culture with strong religious convictions. We can certainly take a lesson from these on how to comport ourselves appropriately.
Frances 2 years ago. As a lifelong letter writer, and lover of secret codes and rooms and boxes, thank you so much for this wonderful and fascinating look into the world of historic locked letters. I am taking a class in how to do them due to your exhibit!
Michael 2 years ago. Thanks to the New York Times story, I discovered your wonderful virtual exhibition.
Thank you for sharing !M D'Acquigny 2 years ago. Fabulous exhibition -- I was lost in time while reading through it. As an archivist, I work with old letters regularly -- the best part of my work.
Wanda 2 years ago. Quite fascinating, I'd love to be able to read some more of the letters as they are scanned. It's so interesting to see the goings on in the day to day life of the people who wrote the letters.
Debra 2 years ago. This is such a fascinating topic. Thank you for this website. When I was growing up, I had many pen pals. That’s how people kept in contact then, aside from the telephone, of course, and actual travel. Today, I still think at “letter speed”. It’s such a great way to organize one’s thoughts and document your life for others.
Kerry Koehle 2 years ago. Dear Brienne Collection/Exhibit Team,
Whenever I turn my computer on, I try to learn one new thing every day. I pick whatever article looks the most interesting on my home screen. Today, there was this article about Mary, Queen of Scot writing a letter before she was executed.
https://a.msn.com/01/en-us/AARIfXO?ocid=winp-se
As I was reading, the article mentioned this Brienne Collection. Curiosity set in again, and this is an even more fascinating story than the original one.
As I was reading about Brienne, I saw "letterlocking". Never heard the word, so of course curious me had to look it up.
So now I have a new hobby! I'm definitely going to be getting one of these, as I'm redoing my interior decor "Steampunk" style, and this will fit in just great! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_jack
Just thought I'd let you know how your interesting project has now given a person from a small town called Neshaminy Valley, in Pennsylvania, USA a new, fun, and interesting way to help pass the time.
Thanks for being there for me, and hope you're having an amazing day. Yours Truly, Kerry (and my 3 dogs that sit here patiently watching me type; Fozzybear, Oreo, and Leo)Adrian Young 2 years ago. I have been lead to your wonderful exhibition from a UK article in The Guardian about the letter written by Mary on the eve of her execution. A very round about way to read and be entertained by this on line exhibition. It is the best on line exhibition I have viewed. I will definitely make and send a a locked letter just to see if it makes it's way through the post and I will encourage my grandchildren to send a letter to your website.
A very entertaining hour.Vikki Sargent 2 years ago. What a wonderful project - I'm off to try some letter locking! A real insight into the lives of ordinary (and not so ordinary) people in the 17th century.
Alan Gruber 2 years ago. Alan Gruber. Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for making this available online.
Anna Reinhardt 2 years ago. I was so excited to see the results of the Brienne project! It`s so special and interesting. The concept of the online exhibition is great. I'm doing research in Johannes Vermeers paintings with letters (6 paintings where women are reading, receiving or writing letters), so its a great source for new perspectives between the "real" and the painted dutch live of the 17th century.
Best regards from Germany!
AnnaGail 2 years ago. Hello! I recently watched a demonstration by Janet Faught, who was working with the Society For Calligraphy. She gave us instructions for several 'Locked Letters' and provided the link to this site. I watched it all and was absolutely captivated by your engaging images, historic information, and videos! I can hardly wait to write some letters, fold them, and seal them for my friends and family. I will also share the brienne.org link on my Facebook page, as I am sure many of my friends will be fascinated by this story, too! Thank you, kindly, for making this wonderful site available and allowing us to have a window into the past to explore the world of sending letters! What a fabulous blending of old and new technology!. Gail Fournier. Edmonton, Alberta Canada
Steve Sverdlik 3 years ago. A wonderful and informative exhibit, very well designed and displayed. I liked the explanation of why some letters haven't been opened. A small criticism: some of the paintings aren't identified. Is that a ter Borch, of a woman with her back to us, reading a letter? Steve Sverdlik, Dallas Texas.
Thelma Follett 3 years ago. What a wonderful presentation! I found the exhibit so exciting, not only because I learned much more about the history of the times, something about the letter writers and the antique postal system, but also because I was unaware of the amazing technology that allows us to read these letters without opening them. What a marvel.
Thank you to all in the various fields and disciplines that made this very special exhibit possible. Thelma Follett, Bellingham, Washington, USACristina Cannizzo 3 years ago. Fantastico! Gran bel lavoro. Amazing!, Cristina C.
Kate Lindblom 3 years ago. Wow! So amazing, and what a treasure trove! And I thought the way we folded notes in middle school was advanced. 😆. Thank you for sharing the photos and information of this exhibit virtually for all to enjoy. I found it after reading on NPR about some unopened letter-locked documents, and I’m so glad I did as a lover of history, writing, and all things antique. ❤️
Kate Woodhead 3 years ago, Totally fascinating and found by accident - thank you so much for producing this. I really enjoyed the exhibition.
Saralina Love 3 years ago. Dearest Jana, Greetings! I just happened upon an interview with the presenter mentioned your research in letterlocking. Thank you so much for sharing all your passion! I have just returned to my love of the hand written letter and am so excited with returning to this rewarding way of communicating. I was just about to order some stamps, original style waxes - the kind of breakable wax that you use rather the these flexible kinds which are so prevalent that don't break that don't work for the cool letterlocking. Where do you purchase your wax, seals and those little glue circles and the type of press stamps to squash the pages together with the glue circle? Also, I'd like to find the other tools like the awl, and the sqrew driver looking shape that cuts into the paper for wider type cuts. I see, also, a pointed bone type tool on the letter locking videos which help make the hole broader. it looks like a bone tool, maybe. Also, where do you get the type of stamp, glue, and circles for the type where you adhesive the pages together. Are there different types of ingredients, different types of the breakable old school wax? it seems that they are not all the same. And, where do I find these types of papers the mimic these older paper types and large sizes? Thank you deeply for your passion and BRILLIANCE for such special arts and your team for reviving some thing touches my heart deeply and touches so many of us all more than ever now. Warmest wishes, Saralina
The Unlocking History Research Team 3 years ago. Dear Saralina, Thank you for your interest in our research project. Please visit our letterlocking.org website and view the Tools and Materials page http://letterlocking.org/tools-and-materials and the Frequently Asked Question page http://letterlocking.org/faq. There, you'll find all the information you need to begin locking letters using authentic supplies and tools. We hope you enjoy letterlocking as much as we do! Truly, Jana and Daniel on behalf of the Unlocking History Research Team
Scylla 3 years ago. I found this all riveting and have spent some time with the videos learning some of the ways to fold the letters. I am an artist in the UK and have for many years been creating artwork based on the letter as the envelope (using Origami folding). My letters have been posted all over the world - most have arrived at destination, some have 'got lost'!!

merfromMD 3 years ago. History lives! The chest holding the letters was really a treasure chest. Many thanks to scientists and historians for their thoughtful and detailed study of all the aspects and materials in the trunk. As a history lover, I appreciated submersing myself in the 17th century using 21st century technology.

You exhibit the minutiae of daily life - the letter writing utensils - as well as the broad spectrum of sadness, tenderness, desperation, joy, tedium, striving and sheer hard work of living experienced by the letter writers! The details of the postmasters lives are fascinating. I especially enjoyed the illustrations of the postmaster collecting the mail via boat and horse. You have truly given us a window into the past - through the letters and their presentation. Thank you!
James 3 years ago · 1 Like. Utterly fascinating. I had read about the use of X ray technology to reveal the content of scrolls unearthed at Pompei, in addition to other texts. I'm hoping you will be creating an online archive of the entire collection for interested scholars and amateur historians alike. Also, given these are letters, each with its own address of origin and destination, might it be possible to create an interactive map for each letter in the collection? The letters alone are a treasure trove of historical research, but I'm thinking, if we were able to visualize how the postal system itself functioned, it might yield interesting insight into other aspects of commerce and daily life at the time. Simon deBrienne 3 years ago. Thanks James! Great ideas. We indeed have future plans for mapping projects and a detailed study of how this post office worked within the wider postal system of the time. Stay tuned!

Simon deBrienne 3 years ago. That would be amazing! Let's hope that OCR technology continues improving, for it still can't manage the handwriting present in this collection. Anyway, fun fact: OCR development was prompted, pushed, and supported by postal systems! Simon deBrienne 3 years ago.

A book was published about my ancestor's letters during the civil war and admonishes one to write correspondence. I teach classes occasionally on correspondence, and have included the locked triangle letters that Russian soldiers wrote during WWII. But until I read your information, I didn't know about locked letters. I love it. Simon deBrienne 3 years ago. Thank you, Janet, for sharing your family history and your fascination with letters. Letterlocking is a great educational tool for all age groups, so keep doing it!
mejaka 3 years ago · 1 Like. Thank you for putting this online! I enjoyed a few minutes' wandering through the digital exhibit. It appealed to me on so many levels--mundane history, letter-writing, paleography, language, paper arts--and was well-presented. And what a fascinating (and heartbreaking) treasure this box of unsent mail is. I'm an erstwhile mail artist, longtime letter-writer (participating in Cafe Utne, Nervousness, Postcrossing, Sendsomething.net, More Love Letters, and others, with at one time 150 correspondents worldwide), a family history indexer, calligrapher, and writer. You've touched many of my favorite things here. mejaka, Idaho, USA

I am an archivist by profession and a member of postcrossing, so there's no way I can put into enough words, how much I have loved this exhibition. It was engaging, informative and use friendly despite the constraints of being hosted online. I stumbled upon this exhibition right in the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown in India and it's given me so much joy, especially at this time when postal services have also completely shut down in India. Congratulations and best wishes to the curatorial team behind this project. Simon deBrienne 3 years ago. Thank you so much for your compliments. I'm happy it brings joy to people, even in lockdown.

It is interesting to touch on the past era, on the people who lived then. They wanted their letters to reach the addressees. What a pity that this did not happen. But thanks to this, we can learn a lot of interesting things. God promises to resurrect the dead, then it will be possible to communicate with them. And now I intend to continue to write letters.

As a child and adolescent (around 40 years ago) I folded all my letters and sealed them without an envelope, because I am fascinated by everything old-fashioned. In this respect, the techniques shown were not really new to me. But I would be interested in the content of the letters, as other commentators have already written here.

Thanks much for the fascinating exhibition which I truly enjoyed.
Lee Littlewood 4 years ago · 1 Like. An excellent presentation. This does reinforce my understanding that French was the language of commerce at this time, so Dutch postmasters had to read French. I wonder how many languages a city postmaster was expected to be fluent in? Simon deBrienne 4 years ago. French was indeed the lingua franca at the time. Postmasters Brienne and Germain were certainly fluent in Dutch and French. Other postmasters who were responsible for the mail from the Holy Roman Empire had to be fluent in German.
