Arrangement
SCRAPBOOKS are arranged chronologically, following original order. The photocopied content of each scrapbook was placed in its own folder by year. To facilitate photocopying, entire pages of the scrapbook were pieced together by the archivist, rather than copying individual articles. To some extent, this reconstruction reflects original order of the scrapbook, but the researcher should assume that the lay-out of the copied articles is the product of archival processing, not of the original scrapbook page lay-out.
Appraisal and Discard Information
The original scrapbooks were discarded by the archivist because of severe preservation problems (i.e., the bulk of the material in them was newsprint; clippings glued or taped to the scrapbook's pages had fallen off; in many cases, the clippings were simply piled inside the scrapbooks) and a determination that the scrapbooks themselves did not have artifactual value. It was, however, determined that the clippings might have information value so photocopies were made and retained. All clippings were copied and retained, except those that could not be identified with a newspaper.
