Why We Do What We Do ?

"It started with a fascination for old postcards and handwritten letters — and slowly became something more. A quiet ritual of searching, sorting, preserving. Of pausing over a name, a signature, a postmark.

These papers are not just things — they’re echoes. Echoes of people who once wrote, lived, loved.

We’re here to give them a second life, and to place them into the hands of those who understand what they are: not just paper, but memory."
