Scrapbooks, 1941-1943

The Ruth Erickson scrapbooks, 1920s-1951 and undated, contains photographs and two scrapbooks created by Erickson, largely dating from her time at Augustana.

Photographs include images of Erickson as a child, circa 1920s, and her graduation from high school in 1939, as well as photographs from her time at Augustana, which depict campus buildings, the Augustana Choir, graduation, and her friends. Later photographs include snapshots of vacations with her friends, the third grade class she taught in 1951, and friends' weddings.

Scrapbooks, 1941-1943, include newspaper clippings, a map of campus, handouts and programs from campus events, photographs of campus, and keepsakes such as invitations, awards, schedules, corsages, membership cards, and graduation cards. Erickson also kept information about pledging and rushing and mailings from the 25th anniversary of the Kappa Epsilon Nu sorority.
