Original Unlocking History’s Launch Little Book of Locks (2021), MC0760, Unlocking History Research Group archive, in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT).
The Little Book of Locks was made specially to celebrate the launch of the field of letterlocking in 2021. This document has been designed to be printed on tabloid-sized paper and folded into a booklet with five internal pockets for storing locked letters. The Book of Locks measures 11in x 17in (297mm x 420mm) when unfolded, and 5in x 7in (127mm x 178mm) when folded. One side reproduces the Letterlocking Categories and Formats Chart, the “periodic table of letterlocking”, and becomes the inside of the packet when folded. The other side carries the launch design, and makes up the outside of the packet or the “cover” of the Book of Locks, when folded.
Letterlocking was pieced together during 20 years of careful archival research across more than 60 archives. The field was officially launched in March 2021 with the publication of an article in Nature Communications, which featured the first full systematization of our findings.
Our team of 11 researchers worked together to automate software to virtually read a series of unopened letters, revealing their words and locking structures for the first time - without breaking their seals. Head to our website www.letterlock... to learn all the details and celebrate the launch of letterlocking! Read our findings in our Nature Communications article, www.nature.com....
