                  <text>The 87 postcards in this project are from two collections from the Edith M. Clark History Room at the Rowan Public Library, The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection, MSS 9034 and The Johnny Young Postcard Collection, MSS 9908.  The postcards in the project are those in some way connected with Theo Buerbaum, who was a photographer and bookstore owner in Salisbury, North Carolina from 1880-1926.  Most of the postcards are from photographs he took, but others are ones that bear the imprint of his bookstore in some way.  Included with the images are short histories researched by our staff of the events, places, or people depicted in the postcard.  Our collection includes the images of Theo Buerbaum’s postcards, but this is by no means all that he produced.  We are always looking out for images we do not have and we will happily take other donations. </text>
