The Open Collection
The open collection consists of 85 or so loose postcards collected in the 1920's through the 1940's.  The cards are in pretty good shape for the most part.  These cards were collected at the locations they represent.  I have loosely organized them into various categories.  The category indexes contain thumb-nail image links to a larger sized version of the actual card.

Interesting cards from this collection include: a card from the Great Salt Lake with a small bag of salt attached.  A card illustrating train travel on the 'Moffat Road' over the continental divide out of Denver.  This route over Rollins Pass was discontinued in favor of a 6.2 mile tunnel in 1926.  Another card titled "Sunrise, Pikes Peak" also clearly displays the words "Sunset on Pikes Peak" in the lower left  image area.  Marineland, Florida is documented as the only oceanarium in the world.
