Welcome.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy viewing my collection of old Fort Lauderdale postcards. My family moved to Lauderdale in 1960 and I put most of this collection together in the late 1990s. This website project started simply as a basic inventory of my cards for my own personal use but then I decided to publish these images for all to enjoy. The photography isn’t great (good enough for an inventory, I suppose) so I’ll likely update some of the shots over time. You can click on most images for an enlarged view. If you find you must “borrow” any of the material without asking, a simple credit acknowledgment back to me and this collection would be appreciated.


Comments on the collection are welcome. The site is a work in progress so please excuse any broken links or dead ends.

If you have any older cards you care to sell let me know. Thanks.
