Welcome to John’s Postcard Scrapbook, my name is John and this website is a digital scrapbook all about postcards, postcard collecting and postcard history.
Like a physical scrapbook it can contain just about anything, whether it is words or images, so long as it is related to postcards it will probably find a place in my scrapbook.
What is this website about?
This website is all about postcards and postcard collecting, but in particular I would like to focus on the following areas:
- Postcards from my personal collection
- How I manage and store my collection
- Postcard history and collecting research
- My visits to postcard and collector’s fairs
- Buying contemporary postcards today in shops and places of interest
- My thoughts on different aspects of the postcard worls
Who am I?
I have been actively collecting postcards for over thirty years now, prior to that I was just collecting postcards that were sent to me or were bought as a souvenir when we visited somewhere different.
My collecting interests are pretty varied, from golden age to modern day, across a wide range of subjects and places and sometimes just because it appeals to me for some reason even if it is not one of my collecting themes.
