Milwaukee-Chicago Scrapbook, circa 1975-1985

Scope and Content Note

The Milwaukee-Chicago Scrapbook contains 112 black & white photographs in a loosely bound red covered album. The photos are pasted on to black construction paper, with a short description written on lined paper underneath each image. The descriptions are in quotes in the contents list; they reflect the creator’s opinions and thoughts about those scenes, and the state of both cities at the time the scrapbook was created. The majority of the scenes depict Milwaukee, with some images of Chicago included for the purpose of comparison. The photographs are from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Some photos are duplicates.
