Biographical Note
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.
The collection consists of linen, chrome, and black and white postcards, some written and postmarked. The postcards range from the early 1900s to the 1980s.
This collection is part of the Northwest Historical Postcard Collection
The collection is open to the public. Researchers must use the collection in
accordance with the policies of the University of Idaho Special Collections and
Archives.
Consult Head of Special Collections and Archives on permission for use.
