Port Hood and Port Hood Island

Books

I have written a short book on the Port Hood Provisionals, which provides an analysis of over 60 articles that have been written about these bisected stamps and provides a census of 75 auctions in which these stamps and related covers, pieces, and forgeries have been sold.  The census provides images of most times and tracks their provenance.

Port Hood and Port Hood Island Postcards

I also have an extensive collection of postcards from the area.  While information about the cards can be found on this website,  I am also writing a series of articles for the local history museum, where I am showing an image of the card along with a photograph taken recently from the same point.
