What does a deltiologist do, exactly? Explore deltas? Fly on Delta? Work on her deltoids? Good guesses, but wrong. A deltiologist studies and collects postcards. You remember postcards, right? Think of them as visual text messages — and the Florida art on turn-of-the-century (uh, the turn of the last century) postcards paints a spectacularly wacky portrait of our state. Come hear local deltiologist Christine P Crews speak about her new book, Vintage Greetings: Postcards from St. Pete, which tells St. Pete's history through postcards. She'll also have some of her private collection to share and encourages guests to bring their postcards as well.
