souvenirs, scrapbooks, city information sheets, fact books, gazetteers, and other odd bits of ephemera. Most items are of
a promotional nature directed at tourism for the state, county, city or region. National parks and state history comprise
the bulk of the subject matter. All decades from 1900 through the 1960s are well represented throughout the collection, though
