The gloomy damp weather that has settled over the campus in the last few days is a brisk reminder that Autumn is more than just pumpkin spice lattes and decorative gourds. It can also be a little dismal and soggy. If this weather has you dreaming of exotic far-away locales, look no farther than the newly revised Furman University Postcard Collections online. Featuring over 100 years of postcards from locations throughout the world, it offers plenty of opportunities to site see across time and space from the comfort of your own chair while sipping your prized pumpkin spice latte.
Here are a few examples of the unique postcards available in the online collection. The physical postcards may be viewed in person by visiting the Furman University Special Collections and Archives.
