Autograph Albums

During the first half of the 20th century, many Concordia students regarded their autograph albums as prized possessions.
They asked friends, family and teachers to contribute pieces of verse, personal messages and drawings. In many cases a great deal of time and talent was poured into a single page entry. Contributions varied from the serious to the flippant, from the sentimental to the witty, and the albums were paged through and admired by many others. Until about 30 years ago many young people, particularly girls, owned an autograph album.
Our Heritage Centre has several complete examples.
