Historical Context

The scrapbooks are an excellent example of every-day life for young women
around the turn of the century, and contain photographs of college life during that time period (including rare photos of early women’s basketball), and village life in Aurora and the surrounding areas. The scrapbooks also contain ephemera relating to college life, such as programs of events, notes written by other students, and tickets for both events and travel.
