59 colonial postcards of Touggourt and Tenes. Touggourt is notable for its date trees. It was formerly surrounded by a moat, which the French filled up. Touggourt, as it is now spelled, became one of the initial six (1902), then four (1905) autonomous administrative districts of the Territoires du Sud, which in 1957 were first joined, then reorganized into two regular French départements. Tenes finally surrendered to the French without a fight in 1843, after which the French used it as a base to control the Chelif Valley. Colonial, local arab and architectural interest. Many cards issued shortly before or during the war of Independence.

95 colonial postcards of Tlemcen. In 1943 Tlemcen was little more than a railway halt. On January 13, 1943 a British and American train patrol engaged in a skirmish with the retreating troops of the Afrika Korps. As the US Army marched eastwards from its Moroccan landing grounds, the British 8th Army drove west, forcing the Germans into an evacuation pocket at Tunis. In the independence movements of the mid-twentieth century, it was relatively quiet, reflecting the city's sense of aloofness from the turbulence of Algiers. After Algerian independence in 1962, most of the small Jewish population evacuated to metropolitan France. The Berber tribes historically professed Judaism. During the colonial period they served in the French Army. French Jews of the Alliance Israélite Universelle paid for a local Jewish school, which closed in 1934, perhaps owing to the rise of Fascism. In 2009 Jordanian sources reported that the Algerian government intended to restore the damaged Jewish tombs at the historic cemetery.

90 colonial postcards of Sidi -Bel-Abbes. Colonial and arab life and architectural interest. Many cards from the period leading up to and during the war of Independence. From the 1830s until 1962 the city was closely associated with the French Foreign Legion, being the location of its basic training camp, and the headquarters of its 1st Foreign Regiment. In the 1930s much of the old city walls were demolished. Wide boulevards and squares replaced the traditional quarters, causing the town to lose much of its former character.
