Collections
The BPMA’s collections are in two complementary parts – the Archive collection (The Royal Mail Archive), and the Museum
collection.
All of our historic material is managed to accepted national and international standards. This is recognised by government and other independent bodies who have given Designated status to The Royal Mail Archive and provisional Registration to the Museum collection.
This part of our website lets you see the variety and quality of what we hold. If you have any questions about our collections, please contact us.
