Abstract:

Durwood Barbour of Raleigh collects postcards that feature long-forgotten scenes from around the state. He spent twenty-five searching through large and small towns to build his collection which numbers 8,000 cards. In 2006, he donated his collection, which is valued at $200,000, to the Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
