About this site...
This site is dedicated to the
study and sharing of
information
related to the postal markings and postal history of the San Francisco
Post Office (SFPO) during its first 20 years of existence
(1849-1869). A primary goal of this site is the collaborative research
and dissemination (and preservation) of information in this collecting
area. Sharing of information, questions and discoveries is encouraged.
Pages will be updated as new information becomes available. Trust me
when I say there is NO WAY
this site is 100% correct! Updates are expected for many
years to come. Indeed, this is potentially (probably?) a lifelong
project. Your contributions towards improving the detail and accuracy
of this information is encouraged and appreciated. Please
contact me rmingee@frii.com
if you have information which will improve this website.
