BUILD THE ARCHIVE

We warmly invite you to submit security envelope scans and become part of the S.E.C.R.E.T. Archive—a global effort to catalog the cryptic designs hidden inside everyday mail. Whether you’ve stumbled upon a rare basketweave pattern, a mesmerizing microdot, or an old favorite from your utility bills, your contribution helps preserve this overlooked visual language. All submissions are reviewed, classified, and given full credit in the archive. Join our ever-growing society of pattern obscurationists and help us decode the overlooked art of confidentiality.

INSTRUCTIONS

EMAILING FILES
Please submit security envelope scans (JPGs), ideally 600 x 600px at 300 dpi. They’ll be renamed & archived according to our Classification System. Be sure to let us know how you’d like to be credited, and in what type of envelope you discovered the pattern (if possible).

PHYSICAL MAIL
Make sure the envelopes are clean, and don’t contain any personal information. If they have patterns that’ve already been archived, don’t worry! They will be still be used for other projects.
