Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open scrapbook page, likely from the mid-20th century, showcasing several newspaper clippings mounted on aged, yellowed paper. The clippings center around Jacqueline Kennedy’s visit to Harvard University in the 1960s for an art exhibition. Key elements include:

• Left Clipping: Entitled “Jackie at Art Show in Hub,” it details Mrs. John F. Kennedy’s brief visit to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to view Indian paintings at Harvard University’s Fogg Museum. It notes her arrival with her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill, and mentions the presence of notable guests including Mrs. John Kenneth Galbraith and former U.S. Ambassador to India, Mrs. John F. Kennedy.

• Right Clipping: This features a black-and-white photograph of Jacqueline Kennedy and another woman (presumably Mrs. Galbraith) exiting a building. The caption reads, “Review Art Exhibit at Harvard,” and describes Jackie attired in a “gleaming white satin evening suit” accompanied by her hostess, Mrs. John Kenneth Galbraith, on her way to view Indian paintings at the Fogg Art Museum. The credit is attributed to AP Wirephoto.

• Other Visible Elements: At the top, the reverse side of a clipping shows large newspaper typography. Another partially visible clipping mentions “MALE HELP WANTED” and “MALDEN NEAR LIBRARY.” A small scrap of paper with handwritten text “MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.” and the date “THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1968” is taped above the right photograph. The scrapbook page itself shows signs of aging — discoloration, slight stains, and torn edges — adding to its archival character.

Overall, the page documents a cultural moment: the First Lady’s engagement with the arts during her time in public life, preserved in a personal or institutional clipping archive.
