We are pleased to announce a new addition to the Minnesota Digital Library's Primary Source Set collection. The Minnesota Digital Library's Primary Source Sets serve as an online resource for teachers and students. Each Primary Source Set focuses on a historic topic and showcases the various resources found in Minnesota Reflections that relate to that subject. This new primary source set, which focuses on postcards, is the first in a number of new primary source sets that will focus on physical formats found in Minnesota Reflections. In addition to providing an overview of the history of the postcard, this set also explains how to date postcards, and provides links to a number of postcards in the collection. This Primary Source Set also includes an associated Teaching Guide with Discussion Questions and Classroom Activities.
