Summary Information
Repository: Grand Rapids History and Special Collections Title: Grand Rapids Public Library scrapbook collection ID: Collection 239 ID [Archivists 247 Toolkit Database::RESOURCE]: Date: no date Physical 83.2 Linear Feet Over 100 boxes Description: Language of the English . Material: Abstract: This is a general collection created to document those scrapbooks which are not otherwise part of a separate archival collection of an individual or organization. Included are scrapbooks created by early staff of the library, as well as those created and given by others. Scrapbooks in this collection may contain original objects, as collected by the author/creator, or they may be photocopies obtained in lieu of the original from a donor. Many original scrapbooks have been photocopied and some microfilmed to provide usage of the information without damage to the fragile original materials. Some scrapbooks have an index included with the item. However, there is no overall index to the contents. Some scrapbooks provide access to articles in Grand Rapids newspapers which would be otherwise difficult to locate on the newspaper preservation microfilm, due to the lack of indexing.
^ Return to Table of Contents
Arrangement
Most scrapbooks have not been given a formal title by their creator. The description given to these items by staff often combine the subject matter, date and creators name. Since the titles are generic, alphabetical order is not as meaningful as with formally titled materials.
- Page 3- Finding aid for the Grand Rapids Public Library scrapbook collection Collection 239
Instead, the scrapbooks have been arranged in broad subject areas, with the subject areas falling in alphabetical order. Some additional access is provided by cross references and through the box list.
