http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/266074476

The Marguerite E. Putnam scrapbook volume was compiled by her colleagues to commemorate her retirement from the University of Washington Libraries (1956). It contains pages with memorabilia contributed by members of the various departments of the library with which she interacted, as well as numerous publishers and booksellers. Also included is a box of loose clippings, correspondence, and photographs documenting her career which may have been intended for inclusion in the scrapbook volume. Items of note include a portrait of the University of Washington Library Class of 1931 and a set of eleven photographs sent from Frederick W. Faxon to Putnam, which depict a buffet luncheon sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Library Association (PNLA) on the grounds of the University of Washington campus during the American Library Association (ALA) annual meeting held in Seattle in 1925; images include Suzzallo library under construction, an early dance performance by the Columns and Sylvan Theater and candid portraits of ALA Presidents Charles F.D. Belden (1925-1926) and Herman H.B. Meyer (1924-1925). Gertrude Wulfekoetter, University of Washington Law Library, appears to have been responsible for solicting material to be included in the scrapbook.
