Episode 5 - Life writing with scissors

The Scrapbook History Podcast explores the history of scrapbook making in Britain during the twentieth century. Join me, Cherish Watton, your scrapbook scholar host to explore why people created scrapbooks, how they made them, and what topics inspired them. We'll also talk to people who make scrapbooks, archivists who care for them, and historians like me, who study them.
