Original vintage 1995-1996 Santa Barbara, California travel ephemera collection featuring maps, visitor guides, hotel materials, attractions, and local advertising.
A great time-capsule collection of Santa Barbara tourism from the mid-1990s.
Highlights include:
• Passport Gateway Magazine – Santa Barbara PREMIERE ISSUE. This is a substantial 66-page magazine, not a small brochure. It appears to have seen very little use and the binding is still quite tight. The front cover shows some light wear/looseness from age.
• Welcome to Santa Barbara Area Information & Visitor's Guide 95-96 – a compact booklet that unfolds into a VERY LARGE detailed Santa Barbara area map filled with period local advertising, restaurants, hotels, shops, attractions, services and business listings.
• Santa Barbara Tourist Map & Guide – another large fold-out city map with downtown streets, landmarks, places of interest and extensive period advertising.
• Stearns Wharf Santa Barbara guide.
• Santa Barbara Zoo brochure.
• The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden brochure.
• Santa Barbara from The Sandman Inn brochure.
• The Sandman Inn Guest Registration Guide / property map and Guest Comment Card.
• Fess Parker's Red Lion Resort Santa Barbara promotional brochure and reservation package/rate information.
The 66-page Passport Premiere Issue includes Santa Barbara maps, attractions, dining, entertainment, local businesses, wine country/wineries and other period visitor information.
This is an unusually complete group for a collector of California travel memorabilia, Santa Barbara history, vintage advertising, maps, hotel ephemera, or 1990s tourism material.
