Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a page from a scrapbook, likely belonging to or maintained by Mrs. John F. Kennedy (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis), documenting her activities in March 1965. The page, made of aged, beige-toned paper, is covered with several newspaper clippings, photographs, and handwritten notes, all taped or glued in place.

The central focus is two newspaper clippings, each featuring a black-and-white photograph of Mrs. Kennedy.

• The clipping on the left, dated Mar 1, 1965, carries the headline “MRS. KENNEDY AT HARVARD”. The accompanying article from the Associated Press describes how Mrs. Kennedy, “Attired in a gleaming white satin evening suit,” was accompanied by her hostess, Mrs. John F. Kenneth Galbraith (a professor at Harvard and former ambassador to India), on her way to preview an art exhibit at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum. The caption and article note details such as her arrival, the event’s location, and the presence of other attendees like Princess Lee Radziwill.

• The clipping on the right, dated Thursday, March 4, 1965, from the Minneapolis Star, reiterates the same event with the headline “Review Art Exhibit at Harvard.” The caption is nearly identical, again describing her attire and her hostess, and notes the exhibit featured Indian paintings.

Both photographs show Mrs. Kennedy in the same white satin evening suit, smiling and walking alongside Mrs. Galbraith.

Other visible elements on the page include:

• A small, handwritten note reading “Mar 1, 1965” and “20” (possibly a clipping number or page marker).
• A “For Sale” classified ad in the upper left corner advertising an apartment near the library in Maldei (likely a misspelling of “Malde” or “Malden,” a suburb of Boston).
• A small, torn piece of paper clipped above the left photograph with the reversed text “Expected On Big Color Br…” and “The Woodstock,” perhaps referring to a movie or event.

Overall, the page serves as a personal archive, capturing a moment of Jacqueline Kennedy’s public life shortly after the assassination of her husband, reflecting her continued role in cultural and diplomatic spheres. The scrapbook page evokes a sense of historical documentation and personal reflection, preserved with the care of someone who valued these moments.

The image shows a collection of newspaper clippings and photographs pasted onto a piece of cardboard. The clippings are from various newspapers, including the "Duluth (Minn.) News-Tribune" and other sources, and date back to the 1960s. The photographs depict a man and a woman, both in formal attire, standing close together in front of a door. The accompanying text mentions "Mrs. Kennedy at Harvard," indicating that the photographs may be related to an event involving Mrs. John F. Kennedy, who was the wife of United States President John F. Kennedy. The text also references her visit to Harvard's Fogg Art Museum and the Indian paintings exhibition there.

This image is a collage of newspaper clippings and photographs, seemingly arranged on a brown paper or folder. The central focus is on two black-and-white photographs of a woman in a white satin evening suit, accompanied by another woman. The text surrounding the photographs describes an event where Mrs. John F. Kennedy, accompanied by her hostess, Mrs. John Kenneth Galbraith, is attending a preview of Indian paintings at Harvard's Fogg Art Museum. The clippings are from various newspapers, including the Duluth (Minn.) News-Tribune dated Thursday, March 11, 1965. The text also mentions that Mrs. Kennedy was a guest of former Ambassador to India, and that about 100 people waited in front of the university's Fogg Museum to catch a glimpse of her. The overall arrangement appears to be a collection of articles and images related to this event.

The image shows a collage of newspaper clippings on a piece of paper. The clippings are pasted on the paper, and some of them are torn. The paper is brown and has some text on it.
