@thekansascitystar: You can find artwork like this and more inside the Hallmark archives, located inside the company’s headquarters. Everything from the very first Christmas card created in the 1910s to neon light displays are documented inside the 14,000-square-foot vault. The archives were started in the 1950s by Hallmark founder Joyce C. Hall to keep track of the company’s history and products, but also include a complete record of the evolution of its most important art form: the greeting card. He hoped the archives would serve as an inspiration for his employees as they would go back and reference old material to renew for the next season’s batch of cards, a practice today’s employees still do, said Samantha Bradbeer-Stephens, Hallmark’s historian and archivist. “It’s really unique, and it’s why I’ve been so interested in our archive and really making it accessible,” Bradbeer-Stephens said. “It’s just such a source of inspiration, and I get goosebumps when I see something.” Read more about 75 years of Snoopy at KansasCity.com #Snoopy #Peanuts #Hallmark #Hallmarkarchives
