{"value"=>"<p>The Schomburg Center scrapbooks are a collection of 296 volumes assembled by library staff between the 1920s and 1960s, to supplement the collection of Black history resources that would later form the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

The Schomburg scrapbooks may have grown out of the clipping file, when librarian Catherine Latimer assigned WPA workers to clip African American and mainstream newspapers and assemble them into scrapbooks. Two or three scrapbooks on Marcus Garvey went missing around 1960. The staff who assembled the scrapbooks noted their initials alongside the articles they clipped. The staff responsible for these volumes are ABJ, AJ, A McD, AM, AMC, AVR, BB, CMN, EJ, EMN, EW, FNR, GG, JC, JP, LS, MB, MN, MPT, MS, MSRD, MW, SC, VK, and WA. Initials EJ likely belong to E. Johnson and MS likely belong to M. Starke, both of whom clipped periodicals at the 135th St. New York Public Library branch. Initials VK likely belong to Vincent Kerr, Assistant Research Worker. Initials MN likely belong to Marie Neal, Library Clerk, and RS likely belong to Ruby Scott, Clerk-Typist, both assigned to the 135th St. branch through the Works Progress Administration.
