The majority of WWI pictures are digitized though (with a few un-scanned stragglers that we just got back from the Preservation department.) After transferring them I hope to have a much better mental inventory of what we do and do not have!

I've been pretty successful in collecting many of the Library War Service postcards. Does the ALA Archives have a complete set?Larry T.

The ALA Archives does have a digital scan of the one you're missing available online if anyone would like to view it as well: <br /><br />http://archives.library.illinois.edu/alaarchon/index.php?p=digitallibrary/digitalcontent&id=515Denise Raymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222654892290506831noreply@blogger.com
