Scope and Contents

This collection of postcards primarily documents locations all over West Virginia, including various counties and regions and West Virginia University. There are also several postcards of locations in other states as well, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, and others. A significant portion of this collection has been digitized ("scanned"), and some of these digitized postcards are available to view on West Virginia History OnView. Most of these images have not yet been flagged in OnView as being part of this collection, so they may need to be looked up by their ID number. Any ID numbers in this contents list were added during the scanning process, and will match the ID numbers in West Virginia History OnView.
