This scrapbook is from the estate of Margaret Small; it is attributed to Lena Peterson Walker, wife of Charles Walker. That attribution has not been proven. The scrapbook includes materials as early as 1913 and as late as 1935. The scrapbook is filled with Scarborough stories and obituaries with “Scarboro” being mentioned well over 100 times.
The scrapbook pages were scanned; the clippings that had been pasted in sideways were electronically clipped out and reoriented. Then, all the pages and reoriented clippings were run through Optical Character Recognition software (FineReader) and then uploaded to Digital Maine, where it is a downloadable, searchable, document.
Scrapbook ca. 1935 is available for download here.
