SUMMARY:Historical Postcards with Kathy Alpert
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column]Historical Postcards with Kathy Alpert[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Join us for a fascinating talk with postcard expert and collector Kathy Alpert, as she delves into the history and significance of postcards as both art and historical artifacts. With a collection of nearly 50,000 postcards, primarily from the early 20th century, Kathy will showcase highlights from her impressive archive and discuss what makes these small treasures so valuable to our understanding of the past.\nGuests will also have the opportunity to browse and explore The West End Museum’s collection of historic Boston and West End postcards, offering a local perspective on this rich visual tradition.\nAbout Kathy\nKathryn S. Alpert (Kathy) is a writer who collects, organizes and interprets postcards and ephemera from the first half of the 20th century.  In 2001, she introduced the greeting card world to vintage postcards through PostMark Press’s authentic reproductions of public domain images. She then used postcard art to create original designs and licensed them for use on consumer products. More recently, she has been advocating for the historical importance of postcards as artifacts worthy of being accessioned into research and educational institutions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
