This collection of postcards brings to life the previously untold stories of Dutch immigrants who ventured to Canada from the Netherlands in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These mini-diaries arehistorically and socially significant as tangible evidence of the legacy of Dutch immigrants and are seldom found in the official records and statistics that serve as the main source of information about the broader immigrant experience. The postcards include snippets of immigrants' working lives, celebrations of milestones and poignant longing for a few words from home.
