In the late 19th century, many women in the United States began to collect fabric scraps in scrapbooks, documenting their lives through these materials as well as historical shifts in textile and clothing styles. While these scrapbooks were once considered a popular hobby, the scrapbook Hannah Ditzler Alspaugh created in the 1870s, is an especially meticulous one. Along with each piece of fabric, Alspaugh included detailed descriptions of how she acquired and used the fabric, and she even noted the price she paid for each one.
