History

The large amount of content on the site, at least three times as large as the National Digital Newspaper Program's Chronicling America site as of 2013, is also notable because the site is operated by one person, Tom Tryniski, of Fulton, New York. He began running the website in 1999 with a collection of old postcards of Fulton. Subsequently, he scanned the entire run of the Oswego Valley News, the primary newspaper for Oswego County, New York where Fulton is located. In 2003, Tryniski purchased a microfilm scanner to expand his scanning project. As of May 2013, he is scanning approximately 250,000 pages per month.^[2][3]

As of December 2013, the site averaged six million page views per month. The website has retained its URL and "Old Fulton Post Cards" name despite its much expanded scope.^[4][5]
