Picture postcards represent yet another media, in addition to text, stories and photographs, that enables us to visualize, and remember, the past.

Knowing the value that such cards possess in documenting the past of East Texas, we have assembled a collection of historic, vintage postcards, and present them on this website.

From larger cities such as Tyler and Longview, to smaller communities such as Atlanta, Jefferson, Rusk and Gun Barrel City, East Texas has an extensive historical past.

This section attempts to build a collection depicting the architecture of East Texas during the first 50-60 years of the 20th Century. Shown are a variety of historic picture postcards from cities and towns such as Longview, Marshall, Jacksonville, Grand Saline, Mount Pleasant and others.

It is hoped that its availability will provide another media contributing to the enjoyment and edification of those of you with East Texas connections.
