Notes |
The note accompanying this donation states: "Scrapbooks by Mellicent Molloy Stegath containing clippings of local and family interest from the 1950s-60s (2 nos. scrapbooks. The original covers of these scrapbooks are missing and the pages are held together with modern binder rings as a temporary repair measure.) As the clippings are securely pasted on both sides of each page, it would be difficult to move them, and they are stored in photo box # 48. (Oversize shelf). These scrapbooks were kept at the Stegath family cottage at Ford River and the Stegath grandchildren spent many hours looking over their grandmother's clippings and photos. |
