Abstract
Large scrapbook compiled by Nancy Lee Becker. Includes photographs, news articles, event programs, correspondence relating to Becker and her family.
Arrangement
Scrapbook binding has been removed but the contents are listed by page and item number, correlating to the original placement in the scrapbook. Some of Series II (loose items) may have at one time been attached in the scrapbook, but no attempt has been made to guess their locations, so they are simply grouped by material type.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
These materials were donated to USU Special Collections and Archives in 2017 by Karen Becker Edson, Nancy's niece.
