Harriet Geithmann scrapbook, 1914-1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/264741356

The Harriet Geithmann scrapbook contains clippings of articles written by Geithmann from 1914 to 1948. They are compiled in mostly chronological order with a typed index of articles attached in the front of the scrapbook. Early articles detail Geithmann's experiences as a teacher in Hawaii and a "farmerette" in New York State during World War I. Geithmann also wrote advertising copy for the automotive industry while based in Seattle, and much of her writing from the late 1910s to 1920 is published as automobile promotional brochures and articles in car culture magazines, like Western Washington Motorist. The remainder of the articles in the scrapbook are related to Geithmann's travels in North America and around the world; they are published in a wide variety of publications, such as: The New York Herald, Sunset Magazine, Outing, World Traveler, and Outdoor Recreation. She also wrote many articles for the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The scrapbook also contains one photo, credited to Frank Jacobs, of an expedition in Mount Rainier National Park with The Mountaineers, an outdoor organization in which Geithmann was a member; and a letter from E.B. Rutter, dated May 1947, referencing an article on mountain goats she wrote for Canadian Geography. The index makes reference to another scrapbook volume that was not located at the time of cataloging.
