Hello:I am the editor of the PHSC Photographic Canadiana and have received a request from England. Sean Hickey has collection of some 500 plate negatives of which he has scanned a number of views, mainly Montreal and two from Ottawa.Sean feels that they were by a professional and may have been made into post cards. He is hoping that someone may recognize an image as a postcard in which he hopes to learn of the manufacturing company and/or particularly the photographer.It is a long shot but wonder if you could assist by taking a look or passing them along to others.Attached images can be supplied at a higher scan rate if needed.Robert Lansdale, editor Photographic Canadiana

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.

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’.

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..

I am trying to date a postcard published by R.H. Peter, 748 Yonge Street Toronto. Does anyone have a used postcard bearing this name which has a cancellation date ? It is a RPPC and likely about 1910-1930.

I am seeking postcards from the districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound. I prefer pre 1950, but, that is not carved in stone. Also seeking the same for Algonquin Park, Canadian military and Canadian steamship scenes as well.
