University of Idaho Library, Special Collections and Archives Knowles Postcard collection PG 107 0.5 cubic feet 1909-1980 Postcards showing scenes from Idaho, Washington and Oregon, some written and postmarked. English .

This collection consists of more than 200 postcards depciting Idaho, Washington, and Oregon from the early 1900s through the 1980s. Some items are linen, chrome, and black and white photographs.

In 1995, Catherine and K. Johnson Knowles, along with their son Colin, inherited around 14,000 postcards from Mr. Knowles' mother, Joann Baxter Zeisel. Ms. Zeisel's mother and grandmother had originally collected them during their travels. About 10 years later, Mrs. Knowles decided to donate the postcards to public libraries, colleges, museums, and historical societies all over the United States. This collection is all those from Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

Collection is open for research.

Some of the materials in this collection were digitized and added to the digital Northwest Historical Postcards Collection.

The Knowles Postcard collection was donated to the University of Idaho Library by the Knowles Family in 2007.
