Mail art - Fin de Siecle 2000

Subseries was created from 1999-2000. While the internet had been present previously, more and more correspondence is conducted virtually during this period, with discourse occurring which questions the validity of email as “true” mail art, which is reflected in much of the material. Printing also becomes a digitally sourced endeavor, with more mail art reflecting access to stylization made available with programs like Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.

Items in this subseries are predominantly letters and envelopes, often decorated, but also include photographs, drawings, xerox art, found objects and small sculptural items, collage, and other visual mediums, often integrated into the letters and envelopes. Banana would often print out emails as well, especially those which were distinctly related to the question of mail art and its transition into a digital sphere, and received much correspondence and art obviously created through digital means.

Mail art - final years

Subseries was created from 2008-2016. It is made up of mail art and other correspondence received by Banana through the Mail Art Network during this time. This subseries contains some of Banana’s last interactions with the mail art network, and Banana’s interactions with existing friends and colleages continue to predominate its contents.

Items in this subseries are predominantly letters and envelopes, often decorated, but also include photographs, drawings, xerox art, found objects and small sculptural items, collage, and other visual mediums, often integrated into the letters and envelopes.

Main Correspondence sub-series

The sub-series consists of MacKenzie's correspondence from 1924 through 1978. It also includes minutes and working papers of various organizations; printed material and ephemera are interfiled throughout if attached to correspondence. The majority of the series is fully indexed by name. This correspondence series reflects the wide-ranging nature of MacKenzie's activities and his contacts. Many of the significant figures on the Canadian scene during this period are represented.
The original arrangement of the correspondence was alphabetical by year, and this system has been maintained. Correspondence post-1962 was not organized. Instead, it has been arranged under the earlier material. Correspondence for the years 1940 44 was divided into three separate units. One unit formed part of the Main Correspondence, while the other two were kept in filing cabinets believed to have originated at the University of New Brunswick. The two separated units formed part of the main series by comparing the letters. Often correspondence with one person on a single subject was split two or even three ways. These units are now interfiled in Main Correspondence (index cards identify the original location of any given piece of correspondence).
