... Nobelius Heritage Park and Emerald Museum...Book Emerald Historical Scrapbook 1988-95 Nobelius Heritage Park and Emerald Museum ...This scrapbook purports collect historically notable newspaper clippings from 1988 until 1995. However, the earliest article I found within it dated to 1993; the shorter time range of 1993-95 would also align more closely with the relatively shorter ranges of related scrapbooks. 1993 is also when the Museum moved to its current building, though it is unclear whether the beginning of this scrapbook's collection aligns with that for a reason or if it is a coincidence. It was created by the Museum as predecessor to current newspaper filing practices.This scrapbook collates a number of historically significant events in Emerald and the surrounding area throughout the early-mid 1990s.This scrapbook is a collection of newspaper cutouts pasted into a yellow Spirax perforated Sketch Book. The No. 579B Sketch Book as sold in 2026 has 24 sheets for 48 pages; however, this scrapbook is significantly thicker and has pages numbered to 81, reflecting that additional pages were inserted later. Each odd-numbered page is numbered in pencil in the bottom-right, with their opposite sides unnumbered but implicitly taking the even numbers.
