Celebrate Postcards This Week

Selected items from our own collections

National Postcard Week is an annual event begun in 1984 to promote the study and use of postcards for entertainment, education, and as artwork. It is held in the first full week of May. This year National Postcard Week runs from Sunday, May 6 through Saturday, May 12.  

Suggested activities to celebrate the occasion:

1) View Arnsberger Collection postcards online through our partnership with the Lowcountry Digital Library http://bit.ly/2q8VS3e

2) View some Palmetto Studios postcards in the Lucille Hasell Culp Collection online through our partnership with the Lowcountry Digital Library http://bit.ly/2HwnJ8W

3) Come see selected postcards from the Rev. Robert Peeples and staff curated postcard collections in our Research Room during our regular hours of operation

4) We're posting a very special postcard per day on our Facebook page during National Postcard Week, 2018 (again that is Sunday, May 6 - Saturday, May 12). http://on.fb.me/1dBlyx1
