Conditions of access and use elements
Conditions governing access
No restrictions. Contact the Collections Department and the Archivist to arrange use for research at collections@sloanlongway.org or (810) 237-3421.
Physical access
The clippings were glued to sheets of paper, which was punched in three places along their left sides and bound together with brass rings. There are paper front and back covers. The clippings have black typeface stamped on them.
The general condition of the scrapbook is fair. All clippings remained fixed to their sheets. No sheet shows signs of yellowing. The same is evident with the clippings despite having been glued to the sheets. No signs of rust were found on the brass pins. The covers have many tears along their edges. Corners of some sheets are curling.
