Two albums, together containing about 500 postcards, showing historic sites, buildings, landscapes, and street scenes in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Bermuda, and a few other countries, mostly ca.1930s-1960s. The albums were compiled by Jeannette Weedan Hinsley, to whom many of the cards were sent. The cards are not in any particular order, although many are grouped by state. Included are cards from the world's fairs in Chicago in 1933 and New York City in 1939.
