128 volumes from various sources. At one time, scrapbooks were a popular pastime for many people; typically involving collections of news articles, birth, marriage, and death notices. (They have been indexed into the main card catalog for cross-reference.) The books also contain news articles about events of the day, giving some insight into local perspective and the opinions and interests of the collector. They also give some insight into the social circle of their creators, as they were more likely to save items about their friends/family.
