The collection as initially processed was said to contain 37 scrapbooks. 17 brown envelopes of Grand Rapids Press newspaper clippings about the Santa Claus Girls, 1959-1968, were found in Box 4. Also found was 1 brown envelope of Grand Rapids Herald clippings 1954-1958, re the Santa Claus Girls. It was discovered that these envelopes of general file clippings from the publishers had been called [vol. 16], 1954-1968, as previously processed.

These general clippings from the publishers files themselves have been placed in other collections, as follows:

Coll. 297, the Grand Rapids Press Collection, in process 6/18/2003. Coll. 259, the Grand Rapids Public Library Newspaper Collection. Herald Clippings Series. Box 111.

Thus, as of June 2003, the collection contained 36 scrapbooks from the initial accession and 16 scrapbooks from accession 2003.052. While there are a total of 52 scrapbooks, the numbering remains [v.1] to [v. 53], using the [v.16] as a cross reference to the new location of the general clippings.

The collection now covers the period 1941-2000.

The scrapbooks are predominately newspaper clippings. However, there are black & white or color photos in some books, as well as ephemera, some correspondence, and club documents, such as the various constitutions.

Scrapbooks [v. 32] is missing the cover.

Additionally, loose items found in the new accession, and small folder of early constitutions found in Box 1, were moved to new box 1.5.
