On Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m., John Duda will give a presentation: Collecting Historical Postcards at the Time and the Valleys Museum, on St. Rt. 55 in Grahamsville, NY.

This talk (in person only) will focus on the history of postcards and postcard collecting, including proper archival storage, dating cards with no postcard or message, what makes one card more collectable than another, and the changing dynamics of modern collecting.
