This collection of Vienna, Maryland post office documents spans from 1921 to 1954 with a concentration of material dated between the mid 1930s through the 1940s. The collection includes internal documents issued by the United States Post Office in Vienna, Maryland located in Dorchester County. A variety of printed and handwritten entries on forms were used for documenting the issuance of postal money orders at a time when residents may have lacked individual checking accounts, carrier receipt books for selling stamps and other postal products, cancelled checks, documents for a registry of dispatched items underwritten by the USPO, including C.O.D. mail and insured mail receipts, special delivery mail receipts, “spoiled” mail order inventories, and issues of “The Postal Bulletin,” an internal advisory issued to USPO branches in 1954.
