The collection consists entirely of aviation postcards and photographs. The postcards, most of which depict airports throughout the United States, date between approximately 1911 and 1977. Postcards bearing a postmark but no other date information have been assigned a “circa” date of the postmark date. The photographs primarily depict famous aviators from the 1930s, including Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart.
