YMCA Photograph Collection. Escondido Public Library, Pioneer Room

Background

Scope and content:

261 photographs

Biographical / historical:

This collection came to the Pioneer Room as large scrapbook sheets and a poster with the photographs affixed to the scrapbook pages by photo corners, adhesive tapes, and glues. Some photographs show signs of fading or poor quality. Others are damaged by cutting, bending, tearing, and wrinkling. Many photographs are curled from humidity issues and other temperature changes. The archivist determined that due to the newspaper clippings, and adhesive damage, and because the clippings are located elsewhere in the Pioneer Room collections (DigitalReel), the scrapbook should be digitized to preserve its original order, photographs should be removed from the scrapbooks pages, digitized, and preserved in an archival storage container.

Acquisition information:
This collection was donated on May 28, 2019 by Tania Amaral on behalf of Susie Black of the YMCA. The large scrapbook pages included newspaper clippings and photographs, as well as a poster with photographs. The scrapbook, along with all photographs have been digitized as of July 2019.
