The Scrapbook series is comprised of two scrapbooks; both have been unbound as they are very fragile. The first scrapbook contains newspaper clippings and other items relating to the Amaranth Club and its members. The first part of the second scrapbook is a collection of clippings and other memorabilia of the Athena Club, another women's literary club in Jackson, Michigan which was established in 1885. The second half is made up of clippings of the Amaranth Club. Perhaps a member of the Amaranth Club had previously belonged to the Athena Club and simply continued her scrapbook when she switched clubs.
