There is one scrapbook that was created for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition and one that was created for Expo '74 held in Spokane, Washington. In addition, there are three yearbooks from the Exchequer Club, Jamaica High School, and Washington Square College. Materials are identified by the creator and are arranged in order by accession number.
