People have often said the campus scenery belongs on a postcard.
Now you can see for yourself.
Schaffer Library has a new exhibit online showcasing hundreds of postcards featuring the College. The collection is courtesy of Robert N. Michaelson ’72. The postcards include a wide-ranging set of images depicting structures, landscapes, activities, and individuals either on the College campus or associated with it. The majority of the postcards date from the first half of the 20th century.
Each side of Michaelson's postcards is available for viewing, along with the origin, date and what the postcard depicts.
The library hopes to eventually add its own collection of up to 300 postcards to the database so people can view them online.
“We hope that this online postcard collection is the first of many digital collections the Library will make available to the campus and the community beyond,” said Ellen Fladger, head of the library's Special Collections and Archives.
