In recent years, John and Lynn Bower have created an extensive collection of vintage postcards and philately. At first, they stuck to Indiana subjects, then they expanded to topics outside of Indiana. Some collections were stopped when an album could hold no more pages, while others are ongoing and are added to regularly. The appearance of the pages in each collection is unique, and all required a great deal of research to compose the introductory text and captions, as well as attention to detail in the design and layout. Each of these collections can be viewed as a Flipbook by clicking on a cover images below.
