Postcard History of the Shore/Spinnaker
This is a great site for those that appreciate the
history of the Jersey Shore. The West Jersey History
Project is dedicated to promoting and preserving the
history of West Jersey and beyond. Below is the

There is a page on their site compiling postcards of days gone by. A small sampling of some of the South Jersey communities appear below. For the complete set of postcards, click on the name of each community and be sure to scroll through subsequent pages. There’s lots to peruse:
