Scrapbooks and local history

(Page under construction - but discussions, developments, and links welcome)

This is for discussing the creation and use of scrapbooks and related resources in local history projects.

Details of a competition can be found online at The Amateur Historian Volume 2 Number 1 August September 1954 | | Local History News | British Association For Local History pages 29-30: the concept can be developed to various contexts and themes.

Scrapbooks with local history and other themes can occasionally be acquired through the usual sources.

Points to be considered

 * Due care should be taken to preserve Original Documents and other resources.
 * Items should be dated and details identified as far as feasible - a text without context is largely useless.

Themes

 * A wide range of possibilities.
