A “tear-out” postcard booklet compiled from the BRHS’s unique photographic collection. It contains 15 black and white postcards which can be removed from the booklet and used for mailing, framing, or simply enjoyed as a book. Many images are actual reproductions of historic postcards of Boca Raton scenes such as the Boca Raton Club and downtown Boca Raton ca. 1950. In addition, charming images from Boca Raton’s pioneer era capture a much simpler Boca Raton - hard to imagine with twenty-first century eyes.
