Gillette’s scrapbook contains newspaper clippings and photographs of the Grand Rapids Chicks, circa 1946-1949. Gillette collected clippings of players' biographical data and photographs. The photographic clippings include captions so that many of the players can be identified.

The scrapbook also contains photographic prints of some of the Chicks, as well as data on such off-season activities as playing basketball and working in the private sector.

Many of the images in the scrapbook are from negatives found in the Robinson Studio Collection (#125).
