These trading card size collectables are popular with both children and adults. They are a fun and informative learning tool, researched and written by a team of mission scholars.

The collection contains cards for each of the 21 California Missions and a bonus card that shows the location of all the missions and the flags for each period of governance of California: Spain (1769-1821), Mexico (1821-1848) and the United States (since 1848).

The front of each mission card shows a full color photograph of the mission along with the official name, popular name and date of founding. The back of each card highlights the mission history, provides the names of the Founder President and Founding missionaries, describes the location and current status of the mission and explains for whom it is named.
