Scrapbooks, 1919-1955
This series contains two scrapbooks probably assembled by an individual or several members of the International Association of Siderographers. One contains copies of materials related to the life and inventions of Jacob Perkins, the inventor of the siderographic process. This scrapbook is undated, but the copied materials were originally published between 1806 and 1943. The other contains newspaper clippings, photographs, and typed or handwritten notes concerning union members and activities; material in this scrapbook dates between 1919 and 1955. Based on notes inside the scrapbooks, it is likely that siderographer Lloyd Hull compiled them.
The scrapbooks are arranged chronologically.
