From the Collection:

The Historic East Stroudsburg University Postcard Collection consists of 100 postcards from the university and its former iterations. They are separated into 3 Series: Buildings, Aerial Views, and Statues.

Series I: Buildings (1893-1983) include postcards of buildings from three of the university’s previous schools. They are subdivided into State Normal School, East Stroudsburg State Teachers College, and East Stroudsburg State College. The postcards are then arranged in chronological order of the buildings's opening.
