Shaifer created flaps and little doors out of colored paper to expand the scrapbook pages in order to hold additional text. Included in the scrapbook are all 19 installments of Alexander Walker's "Jackson and New Orleans" which were published in the New Orleans Weekly Delta. Other topics featured in the scrapbook include steamboat accidents, Kansas and enslavement, the telegraph system, plantation operation, the Know-Nothing Party, and world events.

The scrapbook series consists of 146 scrapbook volumes containing clippings from 1870 to 1927. The clippings are related to topics of interest to Collis P. Huntington and Henry E. Huntington including railroads, labor strikes, the oil industry, the Huntington family, and Los Angeles, California. There are three scrapbooks kept by Edward H. Pardee, Henry E. Huntington's cousin, that contain clippings about Collis P. Huntington, Henry E. Huntington, railroads, and news in New York from 1882 to 1901. They were kept in the order in which the archivist found them.
