Vintage Vancouver Postcards

Comments 1 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Vancouver has always been a hot tourism destination. From being marketed as the “City of Destiny” to visitors sending postcards around the globe to say: “wish you were here”. I searched the Vancouver Archives and Vancouver Public Library Archives this week to find some old postcards that tourists and locals alike could purchase and send home throughout the years.

    Love the collection you posted! I’m always excited to find old postcards through vintage shops and rummage sales, no matter where I’m exploring.
