Touring the Ottoman Empire: Postcards from the Middle East 1904-1908

This exhibit is from a collection of postcards sent by George Parsons, who was traveling in the Middle East, to his wife Sarah, who was residing in New Jersey. The cards are all dated in the early 20th century.

The original postcards are housed in the University of Kentucky (UK) Libraries' Special Collections. The origin of them and how they came to be part of the UK Libraries collection are unknown.

The slides in this gallery are based on the digital images created by UK Libraries Digital Lab.

Thank you to:

  • Gordon Hogg, Director Emeritus, Special Collection's Research Room for providing the postcard collection
  • Angela Pulley, Graduate Intern, UK Libraries Digital Lab for digitizing the selection of postcards
  • Roda Ferraro, Graduate Intern, UK Libraries International Programs for designing the presentation
  • Courtney Scott, Student Assistant, Library Dean's Office for putting together the presentation
