This postcard is part of our exclusive series created from punch card documents uncovered in the dusty vaults of the U.S. National Archives (NARA). Once used to power early computers and recordkeeping systems, these fragile cards sat untouched for decades — until now.

We've digitally restored and preserved these relics of bureaucratic history, transforming them into collectible postcards that celebrate a lost analog world. Printed on heavyweight 300g glossy stock in the DIN A6 format (4.1 x 5.8 inches), each card is a slice of mid-century government tech — delivered to your door.

Each card features our signature NARA design. The full story behind the original image is included in this listing.

This postcard depicts a scene from a U.S. Army Air Force training facility in Northern Ireland during World War II. The image shows a "Grope Cubical" where aerial navigators and radio operators were trained together. Two personnel are operating the equipment: 1st Lt. Edmund Johnson and T/Sgt. Michael Kruge, identified from left to right. The photograph was taken on September 21, 1943, at U.S. Army Air Force Station #236.
