Call for Submissions - Postcard Exhibition


The Roedde House Museum Exhibitions Committee is excited to announce a Call for Submissions for the upcoming 'Wish You Were Here' postcard exhibition this summer. We hope you'll take this opportunity to (temporarily) share your historic postcards with us and the community!

This exhibition celebrates print culture and the postcard as a visual and textual mode of communications in the previous centuries, and also connects to current conditions of distancing, restricted wanderlust, and correspondence. It is a medium of many intrigues: a window to a foreign world, a message laid bare for both the recipient and the mail carrier, a souvenir to be collected.
 
The Exhibitions Committee invites submissions of postcards to be displayed in the exhibit that dated from 1880-1930. The image does not need to be of a Canadian theme, only that it was collected, acquired, or circulated within Canada. As these postcards may be family heirlooms or collectors items, the Museum offers the choice for mailing in the postcard to the Museum for the physical exhibition within display cases or scanning the postcard to be exhibited in our digital supplement. We are interested not only in the form and style of the postcard, but also the stories they tell of the people who sent, received, and preserved them. All selected postcards will be on loan for the duration of the exhibit and returned to the owner at the end. The exhibit will run from June to September 2021.
