Audrey Amiss: record books

Set of notebooks used by Audrey to document the letters she sent to various people. Each entry contains the day and date, the name and address of the receipient of the letter and a summary of the contents of the letter, which varies in detail. Audrey also details the method of delivery (hand delivery / first class postage) and the cost of stamps, and sometimes details the length of the letter sent, and the type of envelope used, as well any other details of note to her. Recipients of letters vary, and span MPs and public figures, banks and building societies, charities, companies, and families and friends. Numerous letters are often sent on the same day. The themes are variable across and within volumes, but large recurring themes are mental health, "Mad Pride" and associated mental health activism, and anti-vivisection activism.

Volumes are generally spiral bound notebooks, and are between A6 (105 x 148 mm) and A5 in size (148 x 210 mm).
