content: This series contains 11 scrapbooks and scrapfiles created by Frederick Hammersley and Anna Hammersley. With the exception of a postcard album created by Anna Hammersley, the bulk of the scrapbooks consist of news clippings, with scattered photographs.  

Frederick Hammersley's scrapbooks contain examples of drawings, paintings, photographs, and sculpture. There is also one scrapbook of clippings of art criticisms of Hammersley's work which was likely created by his parents but added to by Hammersley.

Largely, Anna Hammersley's scrapfiles and scrapbooks consist of news clippings of articles and photos that she found interesting. Themes include European royalty, Hollywood stars, United States Presidents and First Ladies, gardens, religion, and gems and jewelry. There is one album of postcards sent to Anna from her friends and family and some blank postcards. Many of these postcards include correspondence in Swedish.
