This archival project is an investigation of local history writing in women's scrapbooks created in Berks County, Pennsylvania, during the nineteenth century. By examining these scrapbooks, I seek to understand how the histories these women have composed shed additional light on their lives, activities, and times beyond that which is available through other more traditional, published histories.In Chapter 1, "Assembling an Archive," I begin by introducing the archive I have assembled, outlining the different scrapbooks included in this study as well as the justification for studying them. I introduce the two women around which this dissertation centers, Rachel Denn Griscom and Adelaide Louise Ermentrout, and also outline key terms of the project and the historiographic conversations to which it contributes.Chapter 2, "History of Scrapbooks," focuses on the history of scrapbooks from their earliest predecessors to their height of popularity in the nineteenth century. In this chapter, I draw on the work of other scholars who have studied scrapbooks to illustrate that throughout their history, scrapbooks have been an important alternative way for those on the margins-those for whom traditional types of publishing were not available-to contribute to historical memory and remembrance by documenting historical events and articulating their own perspectives and values, therefore arguing that they are valuable and rich sources of local histories.Chapters 3 and 4, "Rachel Denn Griscom" and "Adelaide Louise Ermentrout," focus more specifically on these two women and the individual scrapbooks they produced. I begin each of these chapters with a biography of each woman, contextualizing their scrapbooks with information gleaned from vital records, city directories, census documents, and newspapers. Next, I delve into the diverse contents of their scrapbooks, highlighting the particulars of what each woman chose to preserve. In my final chapter, "Concluding Remarks," I summarize the insights provided by a study of these scrapbooks. In doing so, I argue that these two women were participating in historical activities common among women at the time, and that by creating scrapbooks, Griscom and Ermentrout were engaging in an important activity and purposely contributing their unique perspectives to compose local histories.
