West Virginia and Regional Postcard Collection

5.8 Linear Feet 5 ft. 10 in. (14 document cases, 5 in. each)
Abstract Or Scope

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.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
