Research: 'Found'

I have become very interested in the ‘found’ website and series of books. The whole concept of ‘found’ is fairly simple in that it relies on people form all over the world to donate their found items. I think this is a lovely concept which really gives you an insight into the lives of complete strangers. I read the found books which contained hundreds of found letter and notes, some were love letters, some were angry letters with endless profanities, and some were childish scribbles to father Christmas, but all were so personal, provoking a whole host of emotions in the reader. I have included a few of my favourite pages from the books ‘Found’ and ‘Found 2’.
