The British Library is asking people in Britain to forward them
emails that they have sent or received.
Why do they want all these emails?!
The library will use them to create a snapshot of life in Britain.
It will be like a digital time capsule.
They want serious or humorous emails, including jokes
and office banter. They even want spam!
The British Library has called their archive Email Britain.
They expect to receive millions of emails from people in the UK.
But we would like to know about your emails. Are they
serious or humorous or are they mundane?
What was the last email you sent or received? Write to us in English.
ماهى اخير رسالة الكترونية تلقيتها و قمت بتحويلها لشخص اخر؟ اكتبوا الينا بالانجليزية
