Presented by Dr. Jeremy Rowe, Exec. Dir. of the School of Computing and Informatics at ASU. After the turn of the century, there was an explosion in amateur photography, and changes in postal regulation made the photographic postcard a popular communication medium. Within a few years, millions of photographic postcards were sent, exchanged, and collected each year. In Arizona, for the first time amateur photographers joined professionals to document parades and public events, fires and other natural disasters, developing communities, mining, Native Americans and their ceremonies, and virtually every other activity of daily life in the pioneer period of our state s history. This presentation provides a survey of photographic postcard images taken between 1900 and 1920 that depict a broad range of subjects.
