Postcards represent yet
another media that enables us to visualize, and remember, the past.
Knowing the value that such cards possess in
documenting Hope of the past, I 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 Hope postcard collections,
I was not able to locate a substantial "virtual" collection
easily accessible to everyone on the Internet.
Thus, this section attempts to build a more complete
collection depicting the lifestyle and architecture of Hope Arkansas
and Hempstead County during the first 70-80
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 Hope connections.
It is recognized that this is not a complete collection,
and I encourage those with postcards not yet posted here to submit
them for inclusion in the collection, thereby offering everyone with
Hope connections an opportunity to enjoy, and appreciate,
them.
