Hello everyone!
I recently discovered Postcrossing, an amazing project where people from all over the world send postcards to strangers, and in return, they receive postcards from different countries. It's a simple, fun way to connect with people globally, and can be a tool for historic preservation and cultural exchange.
As someone passionate about Latinx history and culture, I’ve enjoyed using Postcrossing to share postcards that highlight historic sites and stories from my own community. I also encourage people who send me postcards to include a piece of local history, especially stories that are not commonly shared. Receiving postcards from around the world and United States gives me insight into how others preserve and celebrate their own history.
If you’re looking for a creative way to connect with others while sharing a piece of your heritage, Postcrossing is a perfect fit. These three cards are from Canada, Germany, and Arizona!
Anyone else here involved in Postcrossing or passionate about preserving history through creative means?
