The Knoxville Postcard Project was founded with the goal of digitally preserving and cataloging all known postcards depicting Knoxville, Tennessee. Close to two thousand cards are known to have been printed and distributed by more than 125 companies between the turn of the century and the decline of the postcard era.

 

The project relies heavily upon the efforts of the late Mrs. Elena Irish Zimmerman and Mr. Milton Hinshilwood to document and compile a checklist of known cards more than 20 years ago. This project is an attempt to honor their work and expand on it for future collectors and researchers.

 

The database consists of cards that I personally own in addition to cards contributed by other collectors, dealers, libraries and auctions. If you have cards not in the database or variants of a card listed please consider contacting me and contributing.
