Sending a Virtual Postcard is easy! Just follow the instructions below.

After writing your message, you can preview the card, edit and then send it. Once the card is sent, the recipient will receive an e-mail advising where to find his/her Virtual Postcard. To protect your privacy, the card is stored in a non-indexed directory so that only you and the recipient are able to view it.

*** NOTICE TO USERS *** The virtual postcard service has been suspended until further notice. Patrons can still enjoy the images themselves.

These images have been selected from over 30,000 historical photographs held by the UBC Archives. To see a larger-sized picture and read some background information about it, just click on the thumbnail image.
