I recently made a Postcard Collection database template for Bento 3 (Mac users only) that is now available free through their template collection. I also am working on a Postcard Purchase database template, and before the Mac arrived kept my database in an ACT database that I designed with custom fields. I am a huge fan of keeping things simple and making things work without hassles, so hope someone out there can use the template.

Would love to hear from anyone that downloaded and used my template and am interested in all comments / critiques, with a view to making it better later on.

Thank You!

Years ago, I used to be an avid collector, and a member of the TPC. On the occassion of the 10th Anniversary of the Toronto Post Card Club in 1977 I produced a video dedicated to the activities of our club. Some of you may have a copy of this CD.

I want to invite you to view it on YouTube, where is appears under the heading The Toronto Post Card Club, 10th Anniversary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkxbSuWAmPQ&feature=related
There are 6 segments posted there, and you will see most of our old club founding members there. I am releasing it in commemoration of our past president Wilf Cowin.

Please come & reminisce.

I recently acquired a P.C. It says on the front “View from Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa.” It shows a steamboat which does not appear to be an Ottawa River steamer. It is a Valentine & Son card. PM 1911.
Can someone tell me what the card is of?
Thanks. JD

RE: VALENTINE & SONS CARD LIST

I would appreciate some help in trying to indentify the image that would be associated with card #114,694 for the Jasper Park Lodge series that printed for the Canadian National Railway c1924-30’s.

Also I recall that the Club was putting together a compilation list of all V&S cards and was wondering where that list might be posted, or available.

Thanx!

from the TPC – the V&S list is on the bottom of the page titled ‘Valentine and Sons of Dundee’.

RE: Dennis Blake’s V&S Date Codes:

I’m afraid that theory would be just to easy. I note cards in the 114670-114700’s of Jasper Park Lodge printed for the CNR would, according to your idea, place these cards in 1914. However, the buildings shown weren’t built until the early 1922-23. In fact, JPL didn’t exist prior to 1915 until the Grand Trunk Pacific Rwy built a tenting resort until WW1.

Upper Canada College, Toronto, Canada
My interest area is small, but as a former student, I am collecting memorabilia- history, school crest, postcards about the life and times of the college. I have a collection of postcards, but would like to know more about them, and learn if I am missing any. I would appreciate any help and assistance anyone is willing to provide. Sincerely..
