Hello,
I am writing to you regarding a unique collection of postcard images from t
he 1940's to 1960's covering the Wisconsin Northwood's and nearby Michigan.
My grandfather, Guy A. Wyman, was a long-term resident of Wausau. Among
his business interests were taking scenic pictures and producing post cards
which were widely sold in the area. There are many images of lakes, river
s, and recreational areas as well as images of city streets and small busin
esses frozen in time. I would like to donate these to a museum or histori
cal society that will preserve them and find a way to share them with the p
ublic.
All of these images are large format, positive image film sheets in sleeves
that were used to make high quality post cards. Most are in color with a
few very early ones in black & white. In today's environment, I am thinkin
g that many would be scanned into digital collections either existing or ne
w with others printed and displayed as part of museum setting.
Because of their quality, I believe these to be unique. The attached PDF fi
le has rows corresponding to an envelope in the collection. Each envelope
was labeled as to contents. If there are multiple rows for a site it is be
cause there are multiple envelopes. I have not reviewed the film packets i
ndividually. So, there may be some mis-labeling. I would value your feedb
ack as to your organizations interest in images relevant to your area as we
ll as your suggestions as to other groups that might have interest.
Sincerely yours,
Susan Sabin
