Annie Wittenmyer Home scrapbook

These 127 images were attached to scrapbook pages with corner mounting squares for the most part. The last few photos were attached with rubber cement. Most of the images are snapshots, 2 x 3" or 3.5 x 5". There are two 8 x 10" prints. Images were removed, labeled with the accession number, page number in scrapbook where found, and any identification that was written on the scrapbook page. The images were put into an archival folder with interleaving pieces of archival paper.

There were 29 pages in the scrapbook. Very little was written on the pages of the scrapbook and very few of the actual photographs had any identification written on them or about them. The early pages (1-12) seem to have been photos circa 19-teens or 1920’s. The last pages appear to have been taken circa 1950’s, particularly 1952.

Images are of orphans and adults who presumably worked with the youngsters at the Orphan’s Home. Mainly taken outdoors. Some include vehicles, some include buildings, playground equipment, picnicking, etc.
