Postcards From Falmouth

FPL Postcard Collection
If you've ever wanted a firsthand account of how FPL acquired our historic postcard collection, look no
further than this oral history with Library Director Linda Collins. She charts the library's route from the Falmouth Library Society of 1792 to the FPL of today, a place where you can dive into whalers' logbooks, play Giant Jenga, borrow a sewing machine, and, of course, browse thousands of postcards online.

Visit the Falmouth Public Library digital exhibit here.

Postcards from Falmouth is a local history project of Falmouth Public Library, funded by a LSTA grant and administered by the MBLC.
