Celebrating the rich history of United States Libraries through the lens of the postcard.
The Collection
The postcards displayed here are from the collection of Sharon McQueen. The collection has been built over many years with the help of friends. Antique shops, flea markets and eBay have all been great sources for this collection.
The structure, design and maintenance of this site is handled by Richard Douglas. All mistakes, spelling and otherwise, are his.
We ask that you respect that this collection has taken years to develop and has required hundreds on hours of organizing and digitizing to get it this point. Please do not distribute this collection without permission.
