Postcards
The Postcards of California, Oregon, and Washington were purchased by The Bancroft Library in September, 1998. They were assembled
by a dealer and do not share significant common provenance.
No additions are expected.
Items were grouped by state and geographical region before being assigned item numbers. These geographic groupings were made
be the dealer who compiled the collection.
Processed by Bancroft Library staff in 2006.
