Postcard Talk at SHS

John Duda will share his expertise on the subject of postcards at the Stamford Historical Society on Thursday, August 29 at 6 p.m. Mr. Duda is a long-time Trustee of both Skene Memorial Library in Fleischmanns and The Greater Fleischmanns Museum of Memories.  He belongs to many historical societies in the area, and has done numerous post card and history presentations throughout the region.  He has served as Secretary of the Kaaterskill Post Card Club for many years, and runs their Post Card Show twice a year.  This talk will focus on the history of postcards and postcard collecting.   Other topics for discussion will be proper archival storage of cards, dating cards with no postmark or message, what makes one card more collectible than another, and the changing dynamics of modern collecting.

Cards shown in this presentation include examples from Stamford, and you are welcome to bring cards of your own. The meeting will take place at the train station on Railroad Avenue. All are welcome at this free program. SHS can be contacted at stamfordhistorical@gmail.com.
