The collection assembled by James Evans
reflects his own involvement in the mail art movement from from 1970 to 1987, particularly
in the 1980s. Included are approximately 280 mail art projects by American, European and
Japanese artists, as well as related ephemera, correspondence and publications. A large
portion of the collection is books, stamps, stickers, postcards, and manifestos by Guglielmo
Achille Cavellini, the Italian mail artist who coined the term autostoricizzazione
(self-historicization).
