Collections

The Kevin Moore Polstcard Collection which includes over 350 digitized postcards and photographs of northern Sonoma County towns and their surroundings, including Cloverdale, Geyserville, and Healdsburg, as well as former vacation spots and hot springs resorts such as Alder Glen, the Geysers, and McCray's Resort. Many of the images have been digitally enhanced.

Kevin Moore moved to Cloverdale in 1979 to join the local fire department. Interested in local history, he collaborated with his brother-in-law Ed Bold, a respected Mendocino County historian, on research projects. He soon focused on Cloverdale's past, collecting early postcards and photographs. The collection eventually grew to more than 350 items, many of which were later featured in newspaper articles and publications. In 2024, Kevin began digitizing and enhancing the images using software. Moore is also a certified windmiller, an FAA-licensed pilot, and now works with a friend using a drone to locate sites from the original photos.
