Mailart links
by aisling d'art ©2006
There are hundreds of mailart-related websites online, and every one of them offers something different and wonderful.
This is my list from the late 1990s, updated. In other words, most of these sites have been online for awhile. They provide some of the most in-depth view of mailart in general and in its historical context. Most have lists of links as well, which will lead you to even more wonders!
