http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81951555

Scrapbook containing newspaper clippings of articles written by and about Oliver for various California newspapers as well as Socialist Party publications, including a column she wrote for the California Social-Democrat. Several clippings feature Oliver's Socialist and community activities and her travels. Also includes a few letters to Oliver, two poems by her, an address, and printed announcements. Includes three undated group photographs. In the first, only Thomas Mott Osborne, Deputy Warden Johnson, and Billy Sunday are identified among eighteen people. The second, with a caption on verso, "My School," depicts a group of schoolchildren at the Mountain School in Soquel, Calif., possibly students of Oliver's. The third is a print of a drawing composed of portraits of eighteen unidentified men and women surrounding a larger image of another man.
