Family Photographs and Mementos, 1856-1930s

The fourth series is Family Photographs and Memoirs. The most notable item in this series is the 1930 scrapbook commemorating Virginia and Orlan's marriage. There are two folders dedicated to this scrapbook--the first contains the book itself and the second folder contains the additional letters and clippings that were inserted into the back of the book. The Robert Safford family folder focuses on Homer Safford and his siblings as children. The other photographs are of various identified and unidentified family members, including Orlan and Virginia. The photographs are particularly notable in the number of pre-twentieth century informal snapshots. The family memoirs include items such as Virginia's valentines to her mother and a program from the 1876 Philadelphia World's Fair.
