British Columbia Postcards Collection

This is an historically significant collection of over 6,000 B.C. postcards that visually and vividly capture a wide array of places, people, events, industries, geographic landmarks, architectural highlights, modes of transportation – all associated with British Columbia. Many are from the "golden age" of postcards, 1900 to 1920, as well as the period from 1920 until WW2. Many of the cards are in excellent condition and a large percentage contain personal messages useful in documentation. This online collection contains a subset of the print collection.
