This series contains two scrapbooks created by Idema, and other documents found and saved by him, and deposited at the Grand Rapids Public Library. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings only about the soldier, including deaths, wounds and other information. Vol. 1 includes at least one article on Idema himself, and his War Work. There is some indexing within the volumes. The saved documents are ledger type books or sheets with the heading “Record of M.N.G. From Grand Rapids, Michigan”, and are perhaps part of the separate Coll. 320, Record of Kent County Soldiers and Sailors in Service in the Great War [World War I] Idema found one of these volumes at the City Hall in 1921, and another at the Armory later that same year. No photocopying is permitted from these fragile early volumes. See desk staff for alternatives.
