Start Over Organization Haverford College -- Students Form autograph albums Year 1800 to 1849

Extent:: 0.31 linear ft. (3 volumes)
Abstract:: The smaller autograph albums contain signatures of Haverford College students. In the 1860-1862 autograph album, most signatures are accompanied with respective hometowns and the date of the signature; one signature includes a quote. In the 1860-1864 album, there are pictures for most signatories, but few hometown entries; one signature includes a quote. The larger 1860 autograph album is comprised of miscellaneous historical documents dating from the early-to-mid 19th century. Includes military summons, letters, trade documents, and assorted signatures. Several pages are blank and many appear to have once held additional documentation and portraits, but only glue on/holes in pages indicate their former presence. Materials not arranged chronologically and appear to have no discernable order.

There are also pencil annotations throughout the next labeling some entires as "original" and adding the fill names of some people who only wrote their initials.
