Summary/Abstract: Cultural and historical heritage of Chişinău consists of the monuments of history and art. Many of them took the form of an illustrated postcard that has become an important source of information, and author of the picture became a “field” correspondent, who transmitted the public authentic images. Such are the three photographic postcards from the collection of the National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova with the image of the building of the Hârbovăţ Community of Nurses in Chişinău, located at the intersection of Sinadinovskaya and Fontannaya streets (now Vlaicu Pârcălab and Veronica Micle). The earliest of them was released before 1917 by the G. Sheinberg’s Book and Stationery Store in Chişinău; the other two date from the interwar period, bear the same image and differ only in the inscriptions.This paper is a continuation of the deltiological study of museum collections and addresses the history of the building, as well as the activities of the Community.
