The Gaspar Family Travel Scrapbook includes a single scrapbook with diary entries,
photographs, and ephemera that document a family trip to Mexico from February 12 to March
23, 1942. The scrapbook includes a Hotel Emporio receipt for Jack Gaspar with a later 1946
date. The author of the scrapbook is not noted in the book, but is likely to be Ella Irene
McClain Gaspar, the mother of Jack McClain Gaspar. Adeth Elizabeth Gorman Gaspar is
frequently mentioned. The Gaspar family took a train through Los Angeles, Tucson, and
Nogales to visit Mazatlán and Guadalajara, Mexico. Photographs and ephemera are pasted
throughout the scrapbook. Photographs include images of fellow travelers, hotel workers, and
the sites they visited. Ephemera includes menus, brochures, and a railway map. The writer
describes playing the lottery, drinking, Jack's duck hunting, and visits to churches and
other local sites with Adeth. Hotels mentioned include Hotel Belmar and Hotel Central.
