Industrial Notes from Old Newspapers, 1727-1915, MS. 481

Descriptive Summary

The organization and indexing of the scrapbooks is idiosyncratic at best. The original subject headings and arrangement have been retained, however, in an effort to preserve the integrity of the collection as scrapbooks. Changes have been made only to ensure consistency and to eliminate cross references which lead nowhere. The index in its original form may be found in the folder labelled COMPILER'S INDEX in box 1. Researchers are advised to make a thorough check of the index which follows. It may be necessary to pursue a number of seemingly unrelated entries in order to discover all pertinent material.

The scrapbooks, originally kept in three ring binders, were transferred to the present box-and-folder arrangement in June 1981 as a conservation measure.

BOX 1

A through G

BOX 2

H through P

BOX 3
