The scrapbook, like most scrapbooks, was in terrible shape with about 50% of the items having come loose from their original pages. Over the last year, Maria Filas, Dartmouth 2011, pulled the pieces together and identified where they belonged. McKey Berkman, a student at the North Bennet Street School, who was doing an internship with the Library’s Preservation Services Department, did further placement of the materials and remounted them on new pages. The scrapbook is a wonderful resource documenting May’s conception of the Rudolph story and its remarkable rise in popularity. Included in the scrapbook are a number of letters from children who received the free booklet in 1939. One letter from Robert and Carolyn Rosenbaum reads:<br /><br />“I enjoyed the book very much. My sister could not read it so I read it to her. The man that wrote it done better than I could in all my born days, and that’s nine years.”<br /><br />Ask for the Robert L.
