Scrapbooks
Scrapbooks are also primary sources with complex preservation and access problems. Some of our scrapbooks are so fragile that any study by researchers would pose a danger to them. The books in Belmont’s Digital Repository have been digitized courtesy of a grant Belmont University received through the National Historical Publication & Records Commission, distributed through the Tennessee Historical Records Advisory Board. This is a section of our collection and it will continue to grow as more books are digitized.
To access any of the original scrapbooks, please contact University Special Collections.
