Historical NoteReturn to Top
Since its founding in 1898, the Oregon Historical Society has collected ephemera of all kinds, most of it documenting the history of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Around the mid-20th century, librarians at the Society began organizing these materials into what became known as "Topical Collections" formed around particular subjects, such as business and education. One such collection, "Manners and Customs," served as a catch-all for items related to social life and customs -- e.g., marriage, courtship, home, family, and civic celebrations. Often materials from other collections -- such as greeting cards -- were separated from the original sources and added to the Manners and Customs Collection. Although this practice has since been discontinued, some materials are still filed in Manners and Customs if they come from accessions composed primarily of unrelated ephemera items.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Manners and Customs Collection consists of ephemera items relating to social life and customs, primarily in Oregon and Portland. Topics include celebrations, child rearing, civic events, cooking, death, fashion, holidays, home life, exhibitions, expositions, fairs, patriotism, recreation, and sports. Materials range widely in format and include advertisements, announcements, autograph albums, calendars, cook books, greeting cards, invitations, postcards, programs, and scrapbooks. Most materials date from circa 1880 to 1970, but best represented are the decades of the early 20th century.
Of special interest is a large collection of scrapbooks, most dating from the late 19th and early 20th century. These include all manner of memorabilia, including dance cards, calling cards, programs, photographs, invitations, post cards, and dried flowers. Also of note is an extensive collection of postcards and other greeting cards for a variety of holidays, most dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and a substantial group of personal autograph albums from the period. Among the sports materials are daily programs for the Xth Olympic Games in Los Angeles, 1932.
