Postcards

 home > postcards < you are here

Many postcards came out of Croatia between about 1890 and 1920. Most of these were of small towns and villages. Here are some examples; we are looking for more. These make very nice additions to family history books or family history collections. To obtain good quality copies of these images, contact us. We can provide TIF images on disk. We ask for a small donation to this website.

If you have an old postcard that we can use, please email us. We will explain how to send us a copy of the image. We only need the image -- not the actual card. We will also donate a copy of the card to the appropriate Croatian State Archive.
