Materials contained within this scrapbook were removed from the original physical scrapbook due to preservation issues. Most documents were originally glued to the pages of the scrapbook, but the glue was failing and the documents were becoming loose and were falling out of the scrapbook. Documents may already have lost their original order and/or may have been lost due to this damage. The damage was getting worse with every use.
