Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer instant downloads?
No. Each high-resolution scan is prepared individually. Files are delivered via Dropbox within 3–5 business days.

Yes. I maintain archival scans of most items and can supply a digital file even if the original postcard is no longer available.

High-resolution TIFF or JPEG files, depending on your preference. TIFF is recommended for archival or print use; JPEG is ideal for general editorial use.

A light cleanup is included (dust, minor scratches, edge cleanup). For deeper restoration, please inquire — extended work may involve an additional fee.
