Historical Note
This scrapbook was created by Central School of Selah, Washington, for the students of Lincoln School, Columbia University, in New York City. Amanda Hebeler of the Washington State Normal School at Ellensburg supervised and assisted in the planning and organization of the project. The scrapbook was returned to the Central School in Selah along with letters from Lincoln School teachers and students. The scrapbook was ultimately procured by the Extension Service at Washington State Normal School.
Content Description
Included in this scrapbook are photographs of the teachers and students of Central School, Selah, WA; postcards of the fruit farms of Selah valley; and miscellaneous pictures of the region. Amongst the letters and photographs in the scrapbook is a letter from the prominent banker David Rockefeller, who was ten years old when the scrapbook was created.
