Exhibits
Located in the Lake County Discovery Museum gallery is the new exhibit, Bringing the World Home, a fun and entertaining look at life in the past two centuries through postcards. Learn about the history of the postcard and their importance as research documents.
The Archives now also feature a very interesting blog called Life in a Postcard Mirror.
There is very little about Japan, but if you are into postcards this is a gem of a site.
