Thomas Jefferson Was A Scrapper
by Dave, Friday, January 06, 2006

Thomas Jefferson kept scrap books. I learned this from a little article in the
Souderton Independent which traces some of the modern history of scrapping. Among the little tidbits included in the article:
- "References to scrapbooks were made as early as the 16th century and by 1700, men and women were pasting memorabilia into books, called Common-place books."
- "The origin of modern scrapbooking, with acid-free patterned papers, stickers, die cuts, and fancy scissors for cropping pictures, was in Utah in 1976"
