The historic postcards chosen for this project
constitute a pictorial treasure and are related to the
16 countries of the Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS). These postcards are very rare because
they are scattered in many countries, mostly in
Europe. Only their presentation on a CD-ROM or a Web
Site could bring them together, at least partially,
under one theme or in an historical and geographical
framework. The CD-ROM, prepared in collaboration with
the Association Images et Mémoires and ICG-Mémoire
Directe, features 3.000 postcards, which represents
only a small part of the 50.000 which exist for the
same period (1890-1930) and the same countries
