Postcards in History

Join us for an illustrated history of the postcards in Maryland.

Postcards! From the 1900s through the 1950s, Americans sent and received millions of postcards each year. Vintage postcards are snippets of history, reflecting back to us who we were, as a people and as a nation, documenting profound social change and dramatic technological advances. Join veteran postcard collector Liz Coursen as she takes her audience on a trip back to the not-so-distant past, a past filled with F. W. Woolworth’s “Five and Ten,” S&H Green Stamps, Saturday morning double features, and postcards—lots of postcards!—in this colorful and fast-paced lecture.
