Richard sez: "I noticed that recently you've blogged several vintage-things sites — the commie cartoon, the sci-fi book covers, that old diary, etc. All very cool, and I think you should add one more site to the list –€“ "emails" from the last century!
"Someone found a huge box of old postcards (1898-1922) in an antique shop. Not all that unusual, but what made them interesting was that they were all sent between members of the same (huge) family. Their finder is now scanning them in, transcribing them, and sticking them online.
"It's the best of all possible things: you get to pry into the personal lives of strangers, see cool, old pictures (like a wall covered in skulls and London before the tourists arrived), as well as getting a rare glimpse into the past. As far as I can tell, these people used their postcards like we used email -– the post was so good the cards (and their reply) could arrive the same day." Link
