3:  Folio, volume three,   (bulk 1800s) Return to Top

Container(s): Box 3

The folio functions as a scrapbook. The folio's pages hold clippings from newspapers, broadsides, books, maps, and other materials. The pages are arranged in sets and noted with the alphabet rather than numbers. The first set contains clippings of biographies or obituaries arranged on the pages according to the last name. The second set contains clippings and maps of buildings and geographic areas. Materials have a wide range of dates, as early as 1576.

Volumes three and four are described at the series level due to the poor condition of the folios.
