Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open, aged scrapbook or clipping album. The pages, yellowed with time, are filled with newspaper clippings from 1957, primarily from the Sunday Journal and Sunday Telegram (Worcester, Mass.) and the Sunday Herald Tribune (New York, N.Y.).

Each clipping is a short article about an art exhibition or cultural event, many of which are related to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The clippings document upcoming or ongoing exhibitions and events, including:

• A lecture and exhibition titled “UNFAMILIAR Treasures from Rhode Island Collections” (January 6, 1957), featuring works from the Fogg Museum’s collection.
• An exhibition of Modern French Art (February 10, 1957), featuring works from the Fogg Museum’s collections and loans by Degras “Degas” and others.
• A Pulitzer Art Exhibition (February 10, 1957), showcasing a collection of modern paintings and other art works formed by Joseph Pulitzer Jr., to be shown at the Fogg Art Museum.
• An announcement for a “Lighthouse Party at Hugg’s in Cohasset” (January 23, 1957) to benefit the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
• A “Society: Hub Historic L. Off for Events” article (January 23, 1957) listing dignitaries attending a Department of the Interior dinner.

Many clippings feature handwritten dates — often in pencil — indicating when the clipping was added to the album, such as “Jan 6 1957” or “Feb 10 1957.” The handwriting appears personal and careful, suggesting the creator was tracking events they were interested in or involved with.

The articles are neatly pasted onto the pages, and the overall look suggests a curated collection by someone with a strong interest in art, museum events, and Boston/New England cultural society during the mid-1950s. The album appears to be a personal record, possibly kept by a staff member, donor, or frequent visitor to the Fogg Museum or related cultural institutions.
