Black-and-white and tinted postcards dating from 1906 to 1969 (bulk 1920 to 1939). The bulk of the collection is arranged geographically. The materials for Europe are particularly extensive, in particular for England, France, Italy, and Spain; there are also postcards for North Africa and the Middle East. The number of postcards for the United States is small, and relates primarily to national parks. A relatively small number of postcards is organized by person (primarily artists) or subject. Other materials include prints, engraved and photographic plates removed from printed books (often cut down to 4" x 6"), business cards, guidebooks, information on various hotels and restaurants, and wrappers from postcard sets.
