Scope and Contents
The collection consists of one series which comprehends two autograph books of Charlotte Scholder, née Spitzer, and one book of her sister-in-law Rosa Scholder. The use of autograph and friendship books were common in that time, as they were passed among friends to write something in remembrance of their friendship. The entries mostly contain proverbs, compliments, autographs or short notes. Some pages were decorated with illustrations or drawings. The collection includes two letters with biographical information.
The collection contains two autograph books of Charlotte Scholder, one used from 1912 to 1915, and another one from 1915 to 1922. One autograph book of Rosa Scholder was used from 1911-1932. They are all written in old German script.
