The clippings, arranged in a slightly overlapping collage style on a tan, textured page, appear to have been saved and preserved by someone interested in Forbes, the Fogg Museum, or Harvard history. Most of the articles are sourced from New England newspapers and the Associated Press.
Here is a detailed description of the visible clippings:
Top Left: A clipping from the Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.) dated Mar 12, 1969, with the headline “Museum Chief, Cape Native, Dies.” It includes a small black-and-white portrait of Edward W. Forbes and details his death at 95, his role as director of the Fogg Museum at Harvard for 35 years, and his background as a native of Naushon Island off Cape Cod.
Top Center: A larger article from the Chronicle Sun (Cambridge, Mass.) dated Mar 13, 1969, titled “Edward Waldo Forbes, Directed Fogg Museum At Harvard 35 Years.” This piece provides more biographical detail, including his birth on July 16, 1873, his education at Milton Academy and Harvard, receiving his A.B. in 1895 and an honorary L.L.D. in 1927, and his role in developing the Fogg Museum’s collection of Oriental and Western works.

The article notes his efforts in preserving the Charles River bank lands and mentions his funeral details.
