Quadey Posted 14 October , 2018 Share Posted 14 October , 2018 I have had the pleasure of going through our Family pics and Post Cards from WW1 tonight and there are over 60 Post Cards. It's literally blown my mind! Here are just a few of them. I now have digital copies of them all but I'm going to ask our Matriarch if we should perhaps send these to a Museum for everyone to see. Is this the right way to go or should we keep them as we have, in a 1909 biscuit tin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 14 October , 2018 Share Posted 14 October , 2018 What a wonderful collection! It seems to me that they belong in the biscuit tin - it's a part of their history and, as long it isn't (and doesn't get) damp, it should be as safe a way of preserving them as anything. Is your local civic centre or public library planning an exhibition for the Armistice Centenary? They ought to be glad to borrow something that good to display, but if they can't offer you proper assurances regarding security, safety and insurance then I'd seriously consider only making reproductions available, so that you don't risk losing anything.

GreyC Posted 14 October , 2018 Share Posted 14 October , 2018 Hi, that´s a nice collection. But as they are not incredibly rare, I´d keep them in the family to have something to remember those who wrote/collected them initially. If you give them away for an exhibition or the like, I think seaJane has given very sound advice. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
