Postcard History is about the stories that collectors find in the cards they collect. These stories are not always obvious — we learn about them by sharing our finds with other collectors. Every Monday and Thursday you’ll find out about what your fellow collectors have discovered in their cards. Your collection has a story to tell — tell it through Postcard History.

Bill Burton began collecting Ossining, New York postcards when he lived in that Hudson Valley town. His collection expanded, of course, to include his college, the neighboring towns, and places where he and his wife traveled. In retirement, he’s refocused on Delaware and the DelMarVa peninsula towns, but he’s just as likely to be found parked in front of the 25¢ boxes at shows.
