Just a thought.

If photographs are today the prime source for the production of memory, are picture postcards objects of the mass production of collective memory? And while I'm asking, I've got a few more, only semi-related, questions:

do people actually send picture postcards, or do they buy them only for themselves?
are there still postcards that aren't "picture postcards"? Can we buy them at a post office? Do people do this?

If anyone has answers, I'd be happy to receive them.
