Quoting


The University of Delaware Library Postcard Collection comprises over two
thousand postcards of Delaware and nearby areas. The postcards in the
collection date mainly from the very end of the nineteenth century to the
mid-twentieth, although there are also postcards from throughout the later
part of the twentieth century. Most of the cards in the collection were
commercially produced and represent well-known Delaware buildings,
monuments, and views, such as the State Capitol in Dover, Wilmingtons
downtown buildings and historic structures, and Rehoboths beaches and
boardwalks. A number of the cards, though, document small town life in
Delaware, including street scenes and domestic buildings. In addition to
documenting the built landscape of Delaware as it existed during the last
hundred years, some of these images may not exist in any other format.

Along with buildings, the collection also represents aspects of social
life in Delaware during the past century. Some of the cards were produced
privately and are in fact photographs that have been printed onto postcard
paper. These were created by individuals for the consumption of their own
small circle of family and friends and were not mass-produced or sold in
retail stores. These postcards document many aspects of society including
firemen at work, literary societies, and sports teams.

Although most of the cards depict sights in Delaware, the collection also
contains images of places outside the State, most notably Longwood Gardens
in nearby Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Other cards are simply related to
Delaware. These include Delaware buildings built for fairs and
expositions, ships that were based in Delaware, and the battleship, the
U.S.S. Delaware. Other postcards represent Delaware soldiers during the
Mexican Campaign of 1916.
