Bethel College has a substantial photograph and postcard collection prepared as an online exhibit. Even the photographs are mostly photographic and of Mennonite people or Mennonite-constructed buildings. Following is an index of the postcards in that collection.
Links to the postcard images are provided from the Bethel College identification number aside each item. For further information about the collection, see "Postcards from Bethel" by Keith and David Sprunger, published in the March 2002 issue of Mennonite Life.

Auf dem Markte in Orenburg. Die aufgestapelten Früchte sind Wassermelonen - hier Arbusen genannt. Aus dieser. Mit recht gutem Erfolge werden sie in der Nähe von Orenburg und Pokrovka, wo mehr sandiger Boden ist, gezogen. Durch grösse und gutem Geschmack zeichnen sich besonders aus die Wassermelonen von Iletskaja - Seschtschita (bei den Salzgruben 40 Werst südlich von Orenburg.). Das Ernte Ergebniss hängt viel von den Frührjahrs- und Spätjahrs Frosten ab. Auf der Orenburger Mennoniten Siedlung sind nicht oft gute Erfolge erzielt worden. Die hier oft halbreif bleibenden Arbusen werden in Fässer eingelegt und halten sich gut bis zum Frühjahr. Im Spätherbst bezahlte man für eine gute Arbuse 1/2 Million Rubel. (6 bis 8 cents)."; |
