Notes

Custodial History: Transferred to the Broomfield Depot Museum from the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library, 2016. The scrapbook appears to have been compiled by the Broomfield Historical Society around 1979, with possible assistance from Miles Crawford; it may have been given to the Library around that same year.
