Atlanta History Center

Atlanta History Center

Event Description
Postcards have always been a way to send friends and family a souvenir snapshot of one’s travels and surroundings. Once a primary form of communication, postcards are now sometimes the only remaining images of some buildings, monuments and places from a particular moment in time. This exhibit draws from the Atlanta History Center’s collection of more than 3,000 postcards to provide glimpses of Atlanta and Georgia. The cards explore various styles, printing technology, and social history aspects as uncovered by the unique details of their postmarks, their messages, their senders, and their recipients. More than 200 postcards depict changing skylines, street scenes, businesses, homes, restaurants, neighborhoods, amusements, attractions, people and politics. The exhibit is on view in the Kenan Research Center.
