Description The Newton Owen Postcard Collection represents nearly a century in the life and travels of an extended Kentucky family. The earliest cards date to the late 19th century, and while the bulk of the collection dates to the period 1900-1940, there are postcards from the 1980s as well. The digital collection consists of 579 cards, about evenly divided between travel postcards and greeting cards of many different kinds. The travel postcards depict locations as near as Third Street and as distant as China, with greater representation from Kentucky, Indiana, and the Southern states. The greeting cards offer wishes for Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and other holidays, as well as general greetings.
