As a graduate student working on her Masters of Library and Information Studies, Vanessa Jacques worked on her internship project at the Brownell Library in Little Compton, Rhode Island.
Inside the library basement resided a scrapbook of articles, photos, post cards, etc. pertaining to the town and people in Little Compton, collected by former library staff. It is not known which individual(s) created the scrapbook, or the exact date when it was created, but we can presume it was completed around/after 1975, which is the most recently dated document inside.
Part of Vanessa’s project was to make a digital copy of the scrapbook, which is in poor handling condition, in order to make it accessible to both library patrons and anyone who has an interest in the history of Little Compton, Rhode Island.
