Postcards

Vintage postcards carry messages for the world to see! Many of them have gotten thrown away, but the ones that didn’t can take you to places in time that you have never been while sharing personalized messages from their past. At the Kentucky Library, we have over 10,000. Emphasis is on Kentucky images but the collection includes a wide variety of topics and types of cards.
