This series is made up of scrapbooks from Wayne Vandercook and other family members. While the majority of the scrapbooks contain photographs, the amount of captioning and other memoriabila differentiates these materials from the family photo albums. Loose items and oversized items found the scrapbooks were put into folders and labeled for continuity. One scrapbook was in poor condition therefore the scrapbook was disassemble with the pages cleaned and placed into archival folders.

This collection contains correspondence, photos, genealogical records, and artwork related to the Vandercook Family. The majority of papers relate to Wayne Vandercook, his grandfather Henry B. Vandercook, and his great uncle Michael C. Vandercook.

This collection would be helpful to researchers interested in the Vandercook family specifically, as well those researching middle class families of the early to mid twentieth century.
