The postcards are arranged alphabetically in two series: I. Troy and vicinity, II. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and III. Bridges. Most date from the early twentieth century, but many are undated. The bulk of the collection was donated by Yonel Grant but has been added to by Archives staff and others over the years.
