  • Database of old postcards. It's in Polish. This link is to the home page. It's a hard to navigate: I have difficulty getting back to photos I know are there. The best way to get hits if you don't know Polish is to click on 'Mapa' in the Menu bar. This brings up a map, with little squares wherever there are images. If the town's not named, just mouse over the mystery square and the town name will pop up, as will thumbnails of the linked images. These will be across the bottom of your screen. Once you click on one image, it will come up on your screen. Do not use the < > arrows in either of the two places they appear - they send you to random places. Stick with the thumbnails in the image you got after clicking on the place name.
