Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This small collection of items of historical interest to William L. Bennett includes additional unique visual evidence of Grand Rapids citizens, places and activities. Those items on the loose item pages have each been described in this finding aid. However, there are several unique images included in some of the scrapbooks which do not have item level description. The other materials included in this collection suggest some of Bennett's wider historical research interests but are not expected to represent comprehensive coverage of his historical knowledge of the greater Grand Rapids area.
