RESTRICTIONS: This collection has no restrictions. CREDIT LINE: Arizona Historical Foundation Postcard Collection, FPC #3, Arizona Historical Society-Papago Park. PROCESSED BY: Natalie Hyde, December 1, 2006 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: These postcards were acquired from various sources. They have been organized into one cohesive collection, for the ease of research. Since the postcards come from such a wide variety of sources, there is very little information about their origins. A significant portion of these postcards were sent to Lillie Bishop. Born in 1884, she was the daughter of a farmer and a resident of Solomonville, Arizona. She received a large number of postcards from around the nation, mostly between 1906 and 1908. She later married and took the last name of Sloan. She died in Phoenix in 1974. The collection is organized alphabetically by geographic location. Yellowstone National Park is well represented under the state of Wyoming. International postcards are also arranged alphabetically. Box 9 contains postcards by subject matter and some oversized by geographic region. Box 10 contains oversized postcards of all locations and subject matter. The postcards are generally in excellent condition. These postcards document the changes in Arizona urban landscape and architecture. This collection contains significant documentation of the San Francisco earthquake in 1906.
