Zeverah Sellers Memory Book, 1888 - 1891
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of a bound memory book which probably was intended by its manufacturer to serve the function of school yearbooks of later years. The cover is inscribed "Album" but Sellers used it to collect short inscriptions from acquaintances, including her mother, teachers, family members, and schoolmates. Many of the book's pages are blank.
