This year marks the 400th anniversary of Jamestown: The First Colony. Way back in 1907, when the folks in Virginia celebrated the 300th anniversary, official souvenir postcards, like the one shown here, were sold to the tourists who flocked to the Virginia Coast to be part of the festivities.
"This set contains postcards, mostly French, sent or collected during World War I. This is a small selection of the WWI material held at George Eastman House, which include aerial photographs produced and used by the military, stereocards and albums. We will continue to add to this set as objects are digitized."
Digital Past, based at the North Suburban Library System , offers a treasure trove of photographs, postcards, diaries, oral histories, documents, movies, interpretive exhibits, and other historical materials from libraries, historical societies, museums, and other cultural venues throughout Illinois.
