The archives at Canterbury Shaker Village contain hundreds of Valentine’s Day cards, dating from the early 20th century to the 1990s. The bulk of the cards were sent to the Shaker sisters by friends and relatives, but there is also clear evidence that the sisters sent the tokens of affection to each other, celebrating friendship and gospel love.
