Faxlore
A home for office-era humour, oddities and nostalgia.
A note before you browse
Welcome to Faxlore!
Preserving the nonsense of yesterday for the amusement of tomorrow.
Long before memes, social media and the internet as we know it, there were fax machines, photocopiers and office noticeboards. And boy, did we put them to good use!
From outrageous office memos and questionable management wisdom to cheeky cartoons, ridiculous lists, ASCII art and jokes of every description, these little masterpieces travelled from office to office, fax to fax and photocopier to photocopier.
Some were hilarious. Some were terrible. Some were so politically incorrect they’d cause a modern HR department to spontaneously combust.
And that’s exactly why Faxlore exists. We’re collecting and preserving these wonderfully daft pieces of pre-internet humour before they disappear into history, forgotten filing cabinets and the occasional unfortunate shredder.
