Here you will find everything you need to know about the Love Letter Archive and learn how you too can donate your love letters.

The Love Letter Archive was awarded the Institution Prize of the Kulturpreis Deutsche Sprache 2024!

We are overwhelmed and delighted that our work and the work of our citizen scientists to preserve cultural heritage has been acknowledged in this way.
We would like to thank you for your continued interest and cooperation in researching the love letters and for the generous funding of our Citizen Science project “Gruß & Kuss” by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, which has made a decisive contribution to the perception of the love letter archive!
