George Abney scrapbooks, pre 1964.
George Abney, Athens native and professor in School of Journalism.
Mr. Abney compiled two scrapbooks containing Georgia history materials , grammar
school at Chase St. School, Athens and Atlanta history and events , military items ,
famous Georgians and literary figures.
Ms 187 George Abney Scrapbooks
The Atlanta scrapbook has been left intact but the other book, badly deteriorated, was
dismantled, the original drawings, pamphlets and other items removed from the acid
pages and put on new pages in the same order as the original book. They were not put
back into the book, however, but are so marked. The clippings, attached in the book,
were copied onto archival paper. A lot of material was loose in the back and these too
were copied. Several sections of Rotogravure materials, although fragile, were left as
they were. An index follows of the book dismantled.
