“A History of Fort Collins Through Postcard Views,” a fascinating book with full-color illustrations, will be reviewed and signed by its local authors from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures.
“Postcards are an avenue to illuminate and preserve the historical heritage of Fort Collins at both an individual and community level,” says Mike Viney, co-author with Wayne Sundberg and Meg Dunn.
“Before the age of digital records, inexpensive postcards were the worldwide social medium to update family and friends on our life and travels. With iconic images and short messages, penny postcards were popular, tangible collectibles.” 
Viney, a science teacher in the Poudre School District for 30 years, works at the College of Natural Sciences Education and Outreach Center at Colorado State University. Sundberg taught history and geography at Lincoln Junior High School for 27 years, and he has written several books and articles on Fort Collins and Northern Colorado history. Dunn, a former math teacher, is president of the Fort Collins Historical Society, vice-president of Historic Larimer County and an author with Northern Colorado History.
“A History of Fort Collins Through Postcard Views” focuses on the city from the late 19th to early 20th century. With more than 300 pages of well-referenced material, the book is a great gift for anyone interested in Fort Collins history and the evolution of postcard design.
