""Other archives might go for the letters from Charles Darwin and we'll go for some bloke’s scrapbooks from the 1950s." One of my favourite quotes from interviewing @stefdickers for the latest episode of The Scrapbook History podcast ⬇️ buff.ly/3V0Wshc

@PeggyAnnBrown @stefdickers Thanks Peggy, really pleased to hear you're enjoying the podcast. I'm not so familiar with US collections, but this is the largest collection I'm aware of at the New York Historical Society Museum & Library. ⬇️ dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/ht…

@TheScrapbookPod @stefdickers Great interview + podcast! I am curious; are there any museums in the U.S. which are particularly known for collecting scrapbooks? I run across them in LC Manuscripts but have seen few related to everyday folks. 🧵1/2

@RunYoung50 @NatRecordsScot Thanks for sharing your very interesting archival find! I'd love to hear more about them at some stage!

Just came across @TheScrapbookPod which explores the history of scrapbook making in Britain in 20th century. When I visited @NatRecordsScot one of the items I looked at was a set of athletics scrapbooks - newspaper cuttings pasted into old telepone directories.

@JuliaMusings And thrilled you like the podcast :-)

@JuliaMusings So sorry for the delay, but I'm been away. But yes, one episode will be touching on theatrical scrapbooks. Do you recommend any? Feel free to drop me an e-mail to hello@scrapbooks.org.uk with any recommendations.

@TheScrapbookPod Hi, such a great idea for a podcast! I was wondering if you'd consider an episode on theatrical scrapbooks?

Are you enjoying The Scrapbook History Podcast? Then please do leave a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. In doing so, you'll be spreading the world so that more people can join our historical scrapbooking community! 😀

In Edwin Morgan's scrapbooks, he included various clippings on the scrapbooking process itself. Why was this important? @MyLiminality explores using the concept of 'meta moments'. Find out what this means in the latest episode of the podcast. buff.ly/38GCZiC

@PeggyAnnBrown And that's also a good question I'm still working out the answer too in my research. I think it can be linked to how much people enjoy collecting, if they've seen other examples (like in family culture) & if they do/don't take part in other forms of life writing or collecting.

@TheScrapbookPod Enjoyed this. Interested to know in your research if it is common to scrapbook for such a long period of time. Also what characteristics influence whether someone becomes a scrapbooker vs. a diligent journaler?

Want something new to listen to this #NationalScrapbookDay? 😀📚 Then @TheScrapbookPod is for you!🎧 Listen to episodes on the histories of collage and scrapbooking, scrapbooking poets & police detectives, as well as collectors of #scrapbooks. ⬇️ soundcloud.com/scrapbook-hist…

@PeggyAnnBrown Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the episode. Serial scrapbooking is more common than you think! I've come across a series of scrapbooks made by diplomatic and political families in the twentieth century for example, as well as scrapbooks dedicated to recording local history.
