Collection Description
Scope & Contents: This collection includes 256 postcards from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of them written to Bob Tyner’s Great Aunt Mrs. Alice B. Hannon of Durango, and several of them written to Bob himself from his Great Aunt Mattie (Alice’s sister) who was still back in Wheeling, West Virginia. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Banks Tyner, Bob's mother, received some of these cards, wrote some perhaps, and compiled them and placed them into an album.
The collection also includes six volumes of family histories that Robert Tyner compiled about his family (R. H. "Bob" Banks, Jeremiah Holly and Catherine Lynch, George Henry Tyner, Sr. and Mary Ellen Holly, and Robert H. Banks, Sr. and the Willie Ann Bradley family) and (in 2 small volumes) his wife’s family (William and Sophia Lansberry and James Baird, Jr.). Includes The Old South and the New West, which is a fictional account that corresponds with one aspect of the family’s history, moving from Georgia through Texas into Colorado in the latter portion of the 19th century.
Acquisitions Information: This collection is the gift of R. H. "Bob" Tyner, by deeds of gift signed on September 2 and October 4, 2005. The accession numbers are 2005:09005 and 2005:10005.
Processing Information: When the Center received this gift, the postcards were inserted into black construction-paper-scrapbook pages; the Center subsequently removed them and placed them into clear archival plastic sleeves for preservation and to facilitate viewing of both sides without causing damage to the cards. (Nothing had been written on the construction paper pages of the album, which the Center returned to the donor.) Fort Lewis College Center of Southwest Studies archival student assistant Haley Sladek placed the postcards into clear archival plastic sleeves and created item-level records to describe the postcards, from October 2005 through January 2006. Todd Ellison, Certified Archivist at the Center, edited the data and produced this guide in January 2006.
