Photograph albums

The collection includes scrapbooks compiled by Edwin, Jr., Mary Helen, and Amy Frances, two postcard albums, including one of travels in Europe created by family matriarch Cora. In that album is pasted a little card depicting a flag, along with this note: “While in London 1914, the world war broke out – I bought this cute American flag (for protection?) and carried it about in my purse for over 5 months – in many countries.” Family and travel are the topics of three photograph albums, and the collection includes ephemeral materials such as single postcards and photographs, notes, poems, and clippings.
