  Scrapbooks

  Manuscripts

  The Jack London scrapbooks were assembled first by Jack and then by Charmian London. Included are most of London's clippings, reviews of his books, and newspaper accounts of his activities. The scrapbooks form the single most important printed source of London's life and literary work, and give an excellent overview of how London was seen in his own time. The scrapbooks have been microfilmed, and copies of articles in the scrapbooks may be made only from this microfilm. The microfilm is in Box 517.
