Award-winning popular historians Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion have assembled an all-new collection of postcard views capturing different communities around British Columbia as they appeared at the turn of the 20th century.

They may have mined millions of dollars in gold at Stout's Gulch, but you'll have trouble finding it on any maps today. Even Kelowna's main street is unrecognizable. With each passing year, it becomes more difficult to find rare and unusual black-and-white printed postcards from this period. Many of the ones Thirkell and Scullion have included in "Greetings from British Columbia" are themselves rare, borrowed from the collection of a pre-eminent postcard dealer without whose cooperation this new collection would not have been possible.
