Content Description

From the Collection:

In 2005, the son of one of the camp’s now-deceased guards discovered the scrapbook among family memorabilia and offered it to the University of Idaho. Consequently, the scrapbook was purchased by the University of Idaho Library with financial assistance from the Library Associates, a friends group.

The original binding and covers were removed at an unknown time. It is also unknown who took the photos or compiled the scrapbook. The finding aid is organized by page then by individual photos on each page.
