Today's Follow Friday post is about the Curt Teich Postcard Archives, part of the Lake County Discovery Museum in Lake County, Illinois.
If
you're looking for images of towns where your ancestors lived, the
Teich Archives probably has what you need because Teich once was the
world leader in printing of view and
advertising postcards.
The Teich Archives includes:
-
Images of more than 10,000 towns and cities in North America and many foreign countries
-
One of the nation's largest collections of Route 66, Lincoln Highway and other travel-related images
-
Over 100,000 job files for the postcards produced by the Teich Company, best known for its "Greetings From" postcards produced in vivid colors
- 365,000 postcards that are computer-cataloged under more than 2,100 subject headings.
