Exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. "This exhibition explores a universal subject, covering the history of humanity and a wealth of regions around the world. Signed, Sealed, Delivered will enable visitors to follow the letter in an astonishing trip around the globe, through the ages and in all its possible forms-from authentic clay Mesopotamian tablets, to letters exchanged in wartime, to modern day e-mail. Nine themes will breathe life into the most significant moments and events in the development of the postal system : writing practices, the origins of the post, the colonial era, Canadian postage stamps, transportation, sorting and technology in the transmission of mail, the contents of the mail, mail in wartime and the rural post office.

Neuf thèmes insuffleront vie aux moments et aux événements les plus significatifs du développement du système postal, soit : les pratiques de l'écriture, les origines de la poste, l'époque coloniale, les timbres-poste canadiens, les transports, le tri et la technologie dans la transmission du courrier, le contenu du courrier, le courrier en temps de guerre et le bureau de poste rural». 1, record 2, French, - Si%20la%20poste%20m%27%C3%A9tait%20cont%C3%A9e%20%2D%20Le%20patrimoine%20postal%20en%20%C3%A9volution
