Biography
Robert L. Breeden (1896-1984) was educated at the College of the
Pacific, Stockton, Calif. (A.B., 1922; M.A., 1934). Following graduation,
Breeden became a member of the Physical Education faculty at the College,
serving in this capacity until his resignation (February 1948). While a child,
Breeden began collecting picture postcards of America. He continued this hobby
into his adult years (c1910-c1930). It was his practice to mount the postcards
and photographs in albums with typescript commentary, furnishing historical and
anecdotal information about the cities, landmarks and scenic views
depicted.
Scope and Content
Breeden assembled three picture postcard/photograph albums. While these
depict many parts of the United States, views of California and Alaska are
probably the most numerous.
