Introduction/ Scope and contents

Southwest Postcards
Years this material was created: 1904-2004 (bulk 1920-1991)
Quantity: 1 linear shelf foot (nearly 600 postcards, in 55 folders in 2 card boxes and 1 thin document case) (85 of the cards are oversize)

This is the Southwest Studies Center's general collection of postcards.  The collection contains black and white as well as color post cards. 

Administrative information
Arrangement note:
The post cards are arranged geographically -- first by state, then by city or other geographical feature within that state.  An exception is some topically gathered postcards at both ends of the collection that pertain to Indians of North America and other topics.  Most topics, for example railroads, are not grouped together but rather are dispersed geographically, based on the location of the scene.

Postcard numbering scheme:
The individual postcards in this collection are numbered in a single numerical scheme beginning with 1 (the next available number to assign is 533).   These are the item numbers in the right-hand column of the descriptive list, below.   The folder numbers containing regular size postcards (in card file box #s 1 and 2) are in a single numerical sequence starting with 1.  The folder numbering for the oversize postcards (in box 3, a thin letter-size document case) also starts with 1.

Acquisition information:  
This is what is commonly known as an artificial collection -- comprised of acquisitions (primarily by gift) from various sources.

Processing information: 
Center of Southwest Studies student worker and Fort Lewis College student Debbie Doggett arranged and described this collection in September of 2000, under the supervision (and with the assistance) of archivist Todd Ellison.  This work included removing some photos from acidic cardboard backings to which they had been attached by the Center's first director, who had filed them in the general photograph collection; also, placing the postcards in Mylar Type D protective sleeves and placing everything in archival-quality enclosures.  Student archival assistant Haley Sladek cataloged all of the postcards in the Center's postcards database and updated their arrangement during the 2005/06 school year, and Gretchen Gray assisted with some aspects of the description in April of 2006.  This inventory was prepared by J. Todd Ellison, last revised in December of 2006; initial html conversion was by student archival assistant Jesse Davila on September 19, 1998.

Related collections:  A much larger collection of postcards of the Four Corners region, accessible digitally online, is the Nina Heald Webber Southwest Colorado collection.  See also the postcards in the R. H. "Bob" Tyner papers at the Center.

The items in this collection are in a single series of postcards.
