Scrapbooks and Yearbooks

Contain albums primarily created by people who attended the 1939 New York World's Fair and documented their experience. Fair attendees include Carl Betts, a Borden employee. Fourteen of the scrapbooks were created by Mrs. Allan M. Thatcher. The scrapbooks include menus, programs, booklets, brochures, maps, comics, greeting cards, brochures, pamphlets, leaflets, photographs, newspaper clippings, match book covers, official seals, and correspondence. There is one scrapbook that was created for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition and one that was created for Expo '74 held in Spokane, Washington. In addition, there are three yearbooks from the Exchequer Club, Jamaica High School, and Washington Square College. Materials are identified by the creator and are arranged in order by accession number.
