The Broadus R. Littlejohn. Jr. Postcard Collection
| |
The collection consists of postcards (typically 4 ½” x 6 ½”) that originate from and depict places around the world. The postcards generally date from after 1945 and are photographic and printed. The items that depict U.S. sites have been organized and inventoried by state, save for those from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. As the cards from these states are most numerous, and presumably of the most interest locally, they have been inventoried in greater detail (i.e. by specific place or city). |
| Of the states that are well-represented within the collection, there are 314 items that depict North Carolina, 271 depict South Carolina, 174 depict Virginia, 109 depict Washington D.C., 162 depict California, 128 depict Maine, and 154 depict Pennsylvania. In all, 46 states (plus Washington, D.C.) are represented in 2009 items in the U.S. collection. Canada is represented in 155 items. |
| There are also 1888 postcards that depict places or originate from outside the United States. Canada and France are most abundantly represented with 155 and 273 cards recpectively, and Europe is by far the best-represented region, with the Middle East (Israel, Egypt, Syria , and "The Holy Land") being the next best-represented region. |
