The Iver W. Carlson scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, correspondence, and ephemera related to veterans and University of Washington alumni from the 1920s to 1956.

One of these folders is titled "Welton Becket has destiny on his side." It includes clippings about Becket, a University of Washington graduate, as well as programs from basketball and football games between the University of California, Los Angeles and and the University of Washington. The second folder contains newspaper clippings and ephemera about Becket, buildings designed by Becket, veterans, UW alumni, and other recipients of the Purple Heart. Volume 4 is chiefly comprised of ephemera collected during Carlson's time at the Veterans' Affairs facility at American Lake and includes bridge scores, menus, Christmas cards, and programs. It also contains loose clippings about Becket, funeral notices, an election poster from the 1920s, and a copy of a 1919 "In Memoriam" program.
