Scope and Content: The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition scrapbooks contain clippings from Seattle, out-of-town, Alaskan, and foreign (primarily Canadian and European) newspapers regarding the 1909 fair from its planning to its execution. The scrapbooks represent the work of an unknown compiler, but are believed to have been prepared at the behest of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce's Alaska Bureau. The Seattle papers volumes contain items primarily taken from the major local newspapers of the period ( , , , and the ), but include material from lesser-known periodicals, as well. The out-of-town papers series, which covers American, Canadian (mainly British Columbia), and European publications, consists almost entirely of English-language clippings. The Foreign papers volume, which had been misleadingly labeled, includes only clippings from Seattle newspapers; its contents have been integrated, in approximate chronological sequence, with those of the Seattle papers volumes for the microfilm version of the scrapbooks. On occasion, clippings from Alaska papers are found within the Seattle and out-of-town papers volumes. Additionally, some clippings from Seattle papers sometimes can be found in the out-of-town papers volumes. Although the placement of the clippings is not precisely chronological in any of the scrapbooks, the order of clippings from Alaska papers is frequently inconsistent in each of the volumes in which they are found.

The fourth volume, which is larger in format, also has a similar index.

Scope and Content: Bound negative photostats of leaves from a scrapbook primarily containing obituaries for John B. Allen, including the text of the eulogy given by Judge Thomas Burke at the State Bar Association. The original scrapbook probably was compiled by Allen's youngest daughter, Harriet P. (Allen) Collins, who, according to a note in pencil on the volume, loaned the originals in July 1949 (presumably for the purposes of copying). In addition to the obituaries, the scrapbook contains a few clippings of a later date, including a 1915 article which discusses a proposed gift of land in Seattle's Bitter Lake neighborhood, which Allen's widow intended to donate to the Women's Century Club to be named in Allen's honor and dedicated to philanthropic purposes.

Scope and Content: The American Red Cross Society scrapbooks are largely the work of an unknown compiler; the second volume includes a note that it was assembled by the First Aid Division on behalf of Dr. Sharples (possibly Casper W.

The scrapbook also contains photographs of Ashby's boyhood home in Pomeroy, Washington, and of the beach on Long Island in New York where he drowned while trying to save his fiancé, Ada Elizabeth Oughtred. Letters of sympathy written to Ashby's parents, John J. Ashby and Mary Denny Ashby; obituaries; and articles about the drowning tragedy are affixed in the scrapbook, as are several of Ashby's own notes, writings, and speeches.

Scope and Content: The Frederick & Nelson newspaper clipping scrapbooks contain newspaper articles that mention Frederick & Nelson, as well as print advertisements placed by Frederick & Nelson, from April to July 1946 and from 1948 to 1988. The albums also contain mailers sent by Frederick & Nelson from 1948 to 1949 and in 1954. These clippings were collected by the company and are arranged variously by geographic market, by ad campaign, and by date. A handwritten ledger containing "window invoices" and "window capital charges" for 1940 and "section 1010 inventory" for 1942 to 1945 is also included. The volume numbers in this inventory were assigned by the cataloger to follow as closely as possible the chronology represented by the albums.

Scope and Content: The Friends of the Market scrapbooks contain material created and collected by this historic preservation advocacy group. The scrapbooks document the group's pivotal role in the civic battles over efforts to save Seattle's Pike Place Market from demolition as part of various urban renewal projects proposed during the 1960s. Although the collection includes clippings from 1911 and 1956, the bulk of materials date from 1962-1976 and comprehensively document the Friends of the Market's formation and early activities.

Although most of the scrapbooks represent a single year of the group's activities, four scrapbooks (Volumes 7-10) cover the year 1971, during which time the Friends of the Market participated in a successful campaign to place an initiative to save the Market on the ballot; these volumes also document the passage of the initiative, its aftermath, and funding for the Market's subsequent renovations. Other subjects treated in some detail in the scrapbooks include urban planning and renewal, historic preservation, farmers' markets, farmers and vendors at the Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, and city politics.

Many articles feature biographies and obituaries of early Pacific Northwest pioneers and the history of the Kittitas Valley. It is not clear how the name "B.W. Frisbie" became attached to the scrapbooks. Brief references to Walter Frisbie appear on page 31 of volume 1 and on page 1 of volume 2. It is likely that he and/or his wife were the compilers of the scrapbooks.

Geithmann also wrote advertising copy for the automotive industry while based in Seattle, and much of her writing from the late 1910s to 1920 is published as automobile promotional brochures and articles in car culture magazines, including .

The remainder of the articles in the scrapbook are related to Geithmann's travels in North America and around the world; they are published in a wide variety of publications such as , , , , and . She also wrote many articles for the and the . The scrapbook also contains one photo, credited to Frank Jacobs, of an expedition in Mount Rainier National Park with The Mountaineers, an outdoor organization of which Geithmann was a member; and a letter from E.B.

Topics covered include the Lake Washington Ship Canal, the development of Woodland Park, proposals for a city-wide subway system, and issues with the Cedar River during the creation of a dam for reservoir water. At that time, Albert Goddard was a Seattle City Councilman and participated in the development of many of these plans.

Volume 2 contains articles about Alaska, the Klondike Gold Rush and the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers (AYP), an organization consisting of early pioneers of Alaska.

Volume 3 details the political career of Albert J. Goddard, an early Seattle City Councilman. Clippings range in date from 1904 to 1945, and are not arranged chronologically. Some of the earliest articles are letters that Goddard submitted to an unknown newspaper chronicling his travels around the U.S. in 1904 and 1905. There are also clippings of advertisements from his campaign for City Councilman in 1931, which mention his long history in Seattle politics, including serving as mayor of Fremont before it was annexed by Seattle.

Morris Haller; his cousin, Edward Louis Cox (1867-1889); and his friend, Dr. T.T. Minor, as well as notices of their subsequent funerals and tributes from the community. The remainder of the scrapbook is taken up with obituaries of other Haller family members, including Benjamin F. Haller. A final, lengthier section covers the death of G.O. Haller, with numerous obituaries, testimonials, and memorial service programs. Contained in a commercial Mark Twain's scrapbook (published by Daniel Slote & Co.), it is likely that the volume was compiled by G.O. Haller's wife, Henrietta Haller, or another member of the Haller family.

Album possibly compiled as a resource to promote a proposed new mining company to potential investors. The material is contained in a standard commercial photograph album and includes nineteen typescript documents, fourteen affixed photographs (two of which are cyanotypes), as well as seven loose photographs documenting activities at Republic Camp in Ferry County, Washington. Also tipped in at the front is a three-page typescript biography of J. L. Harper extracted from Nelson Wayne Durham's "History of the city of Spokane and the Spokane District" (1912). Photographs, several of which are credited to F. G. Christian of Spokane, show the presence of Spokane businessmen at the mines and "visitors from the East" (including women). The album also contains an image of the pouring of molten ore, along with photographs highlighting the landscape of Republic, Washington, and some of the mines associated with the Republic Consolidated Mine Company, including the Surprise Mine and the Lone-Pine Mine.

Scope and Content: The Florence M. Hartshorn scrapbooks are a compilation of material on Alaska. The first volume contains clippings of articles, letters, and photographs related to the erection of a monument dedicated to the pack horses of the Klondike Gold Rush who perished along the White Pass trail from 1897-1899. The idea for the monument was developed by Hartshorn. There are many letters written by Hartshorn to various municipal and charitable organizations requesting donations for the monument. There are also several letters from A.P. Kashevaroff, the curator of the Alaska Historical Museum in Juneau, and from C.D. Garfield of the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who seemed to play a larger role in the dedication of the monument. The letters range in date from 1928 to 1930. Photographs of the monument and of the dedication ceremony on August 24, 1929 at "Dead Horse Gulch" on White Pass, in which Hartshorn participated, are also in the scrapbook.

There are also articles about Alaska news and human interest stories, as well as clippings about various Seattle lectures sponsored by the Alaska Yukon Pioneers.

A third scrapbook, which contains clippings of articles related to Alaska pasted into a copy of the Woman's Home Companion journal, contains articles detailing human interest stories from Alaska, as well as stories reminiscent of the Gold Rush era, including the annual Seattle Stampede, an event celebrating the start of the rush to the Klondike in 1897.

Scope and Content: The two volumes of the Indians of North America scrapbooks vary considerably in size, but both consist of assorted newspaper and magazine clippings about various Native American tribes in Washington State. Most of the articles in the first volume do not have dates, but those marked with dates are between the years of 1908 and 1919; dated clippings in the second volume are between the years of 1902 and 1929. Neither scrapbook is arranged in a chronological manner, but instead seem to be roughly grouped by theme. Volume 1 has some focus on Native American treaty rights (Clallam tribe's land claims, restoration of irrigation water for Yakima tribe, etc.), marriages and deaths of Native Americans, cultural events (the building of the largest totem pole on the Tulalip Reservation, the launching of the world's largest wooden ship by the Snoqualmie, etc.), and the extinction of certain tribes.

Volume 2 is a ledger book containing clippings that cover Chief Seattle (the observation of his birthday and the unveiling of his statue), the various arts of the Native American (basket weaving, wood carving, totem poles), and treaty rights. Both volumes have some gaps and loose clippings. Many of the empty pages in the second volume include children's writing and drawings. Some of these are signed Kathleen or Kathleen Lynch, but it is not clear who was the compiler of either volume.

Volume 2 also includes laid-in notes about breadstuffs exported from the Puget Sound region.

Volume 3 contains clippings about coal, coal mining, and mines in the United States and abroad, with special emphasis on coal mining in western North America. There are also many clippings of diagrams and illustrations of mine shafts, mining, and mining equipment. Most of the clippings are undated, although one is marked 1894. Although his name appears in two of the volumes, it is not clear who C.W. Jennings may have been or if he was the creator or indexer of these volumes.

Volumes 1 and 2 are marked "Commerce" on the spine. Volume 1 is inscribed "Completely indexed April 7, 1939", and volume 2, "Completely indexed April 6, 1939" on the front pastedown. Both have a note in pencil, "C. W. Jennings, 1898", on the flyleaf. Each volume also has a typewritten index that appears to have been tipped into their flyleaves after it was created in 1937. Volume 3 is inscribed "Completely indexed April 7, 1934" on the front pastedown. The index is inscribed in pencil on the pages at the front of the scrapbook set aside for an index. The abbreviated title of the newspaper and date of publication are written in pencil on each clipping in volumes 1 and 2.

Scope and Content: Miscellaneous articles from newspapers and magazines, along with a few photographs and illustrations. There is no overriding theme, but instead they tend to feature articles that may have been of interest to Edwin J. Kelly. Frequent topics include poetry and song, Native Americans, the history of the Pacific Northwest and specifically Spokane, scientific discoveries and theories, Abraham Lincoln, historical events, obituaries, short funny stories, and question and answer articles. Periodically an article or photograph that seems more of a woman's interest piece (for example, a photograph of Snow Babies, an article entitled "Advice to Girls") appears. It is possible that Kelly's wife helped him in collecting the articles or assembling the scrapbooks. Volume 6 contains a few documents relating to Kelly's work in the mining industry. Volume 8 includes an article dated Christmas 1919, which postdates the death of Edwin J. Kelly. Another person, most likely his wife, at the very least helped in the creation of Volume 8 of the scrapbooks.

Scope and Content: Newspaper article clippings that follow Kempster's career and focus on street cars, the power company in Seattle and its subsidiaries (whose name changed many times over the years, from Seattle-Tacoma Power Company to The Seattle Electric Company to Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company (Seattle Division), and the New Orleans Railway and Light Company. During Kempster's time in Seattle these articles are taken mainly from Seattle newspapers, but occasionally are also from newspapers in Everett and Tacoma.
