Scope & content

This collection consists of newspaper clippings and photographs concerning the Redwood Library and Athenaeum. All of the materials found within this collection are from external sources and were not created by the Library itself. Institutional records of the Redwood Library and Athenaeum can be found in the unprocessed collection: RLC.Ms.001 Redwood Library and Athenaeum records.

Newspaper clippings from 1821 through 1990 concern the Library, its events, and collections. Of particular interest are newspaper clippings detailing the Library’s bicentennial anniversary and celebration in September 1948. Lastly, the photographs found within this collection are from the October 12, 1980, wedding of James W. Loss and Katie Burnett, which was held at the Library.
