Postcards included in this catalog are identified with the Exposition by meeting one or more of these criteria:

  1. printed reference to the Expo on the card itself, front or back
  2. part of a series in which some cards contain printed reference to the Expo
  3. Expo subject matter clearly represented on the card (not just Expo buildings)
  4. Expo subject matter (including buildings) and cards in series postmarked 1935-1936
  5. Expo subject matter (including buildings) and dated, hand-written note on card from 1935-1936

While I have attempted to make this electronic catalog the definitive compilation of postcards from the California Pacific Exposition, no list can ever be complete. Your additions will be most welcome.
