Postcards in the Library

Countless postcards have been printed over the years and many have probably been lost forever. But many also survive in various collections. Postcards serve many purposes. Postcards provide insight into the time, culture, and habits of the people who lived during the time in which the postcard was manufactured and used. It provides information about consumer habits, communication, and even art. These insights into culture and values make them vital contributors to printed ephemera and historical research. This book contains a great deal of information that can be of real value to students and researchers.
