Building Collector One Year Anniversary

Today marks a full year since I began writing and publishing this web site for souvenir building collectors. On a cold Saturday, February 2, 2008, I published the first post to this blog. Then, as today, I hope to build a souvenir building community where collectors share knowledge, learn new information and are inspired by fellow collectors. As a source for both new and established souvenir building collectors, this site can bring together a great deal of information because its updated frequently. Bookmark this site and keep coming back for all of your souvenir building collecting news & information. During this year, I’ve learned so much – both about publishing a blog and about souvenir buildings. Its been a great deal of work to research information and tracking down photos, but its been a labor of love. Through the process, I’ve met new collectors and got to know fellow members of the SBCS much better. Do you have a tip, idea or photos to share? Send them along to: Dave@BuildingCollector.com and I’ll post them. Thank you to everyone who has given me words of encouragement, sent me tips, sent me photos and even sent me entire articles to publish (Scott & Mike!) I encourage all readers to share their comments about topics using the ‘comments’ link under each post. Give me your feedback - let me know what you think of this blog. What do you like, dislike about it? What would you like to see more of? Here’s to a new year filled with new additions to our collections, new friends and greater souvenir building knowledge.

Below are some reviews & comments about the Building Collector blog I’ve heard during the first year:
