Finding Aid of the Miscellaneous Postcard Collection, PHC.120
Abstract
[For ease of access, please utilize the blue finding aid button to the right] The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection is a collection of postcards from a variety of sources. The postcards are divided into five series - individual postcards, addressed individual postcards, postcard packets, oversize and miscellaneous postcards and cards. The heyday of postcards was between 1900 and the outbreak of World War I. Most of the postcards in Series 2: Addressed Individual Postcards, reflect this trend. While later postcards depict places, many of these early postcards convey simple birthday or holiday greetings and were seemingly used in effort to facilitate community events, agricultural pursuits, illnesses and courtships.

Collection Overview
The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection is a collection of postcards gathered from a variety of sources and it continues to grow over time as more postcards are donated to the State Archives of North Carolina. The postcards are divided into five series - individual postcards, addressed individual postcards, postcard packets, miscellaneous postcards and cards. The heyday of postcards was between 1900 and the outbreak of World War I. Most of the postcards in Series 2: Addressed Individual Postcards, reflect this trend. While later postcards depict places, many of these early postcards convey simple birthday or holiday greetings and were seemingly used in effort to facilitate community events, agricultural pursuits, illnesses and courtships.
In this collection, a significant portion of the postcards in Series 2: Addressed Postcards, are addressed to either Pearl Bailey, Joe Webb, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Webb or Aunt Pearl and Uncle Joe Webb. Based on the content of these postcards, it is reasonable to assume that Pearl Bailey and Joe Webb were married sometime in the late 1910s or early 1920s and that they are responsible for the vast majority of this collection. The earliest postcards date from the 1900s and reflect local social gatherings, illnesses and school issues. As the dates on the cards move into the 1910s, the content of the postcards changes to reflect courtships and changing friendships. There is a gap in the postcards addressed to either Pearl or Joe in the 1920s that lasts until the 1950s. It is possible this gap is a result of two world wars and the rigors of parenthood.
The subject of virtually the entire collection is North Carolina. These range from naturally occurring landscapes to hotels and other man-made interests. The western part of North Carolina is heavily represented in this collection, with Chimney Rock, Blowing Rock and the Asheville-Biltmore Estate area prominent. Homes of important individuals, plantations, and unusual residences have a place, as do sites of significant historical occurences. The Wright Brothers Memorial, Kitty Hawk, Jockey's Ridge and Kill Devil Hills are heavily represented as are the rest of the Outer Banks.
Arrangement Note
This collection is divided into five series.
Series 1: Miscellaneous Individual Postcards are postcards that were never sent. These
postcards were chosen because of the place they depicted. As a result, the item level
descriptions of these postcards include the information
Series 2: Addressed Individual Postcards are important because of the information
conveyed by the people sending and receiving the postcards rather than other pieces
of information.
Series 3: Packets are a unique and interesting form of postcards. Rather than separating
the packets, the individuals who sent these packets chose to keep all of the postcards
together, allowing the recipient to enjoy the entire visual collection of postcards
ratehr than only one scene.
Series 4: Miscellaneous Postcards represents large postcards as well as postcards
that have some unique or interestign feature about them. Series 5: Cards are mostly
cards sent by individuals at the holidays.
