Baton Rouge has a long and storied history as the Capitol of Louisiana and the home of Louisiana State University and Southern University.

Postcards represent yet another media that enables us to visualize, and remember, the past.

Knowing the value that such cards possess in documenting Baton Rouge's past, we have searched the Internet, but have found only a handful of small collections with only a few cards in each.

While there are no doubt larger physical private collections, we were not able to locate a substantial "virtual" collection easily accessible to everyone.

Thus, this section attempts to build a more complete collection depicting the architecture of Baton Rouge during the first 50-60 years of the 20th Century.

It is hoped that its availability will provide another media contributing to the enjoyment and edification of those of you with Baton Rouge connections.
