Otto at 100

The Otto Graham Scrapbooks collection in University Archives comprises 58 scrapbooks and 11 folders of loose pages and clippings. His mother, Cordonna Graham, and his wife, Beverly Graham, kept these scrapbooks over the course of his career; the books themselves are often in delicate condition, but comprehensively capture Graham’s mentions in every manner of print media. Newspaper clippings make up the preponderance of the content, but the scrapbooks also contain photos, correspondence, programs from award dinners and other memorabilia. 

To schedule an appointment to peruse Graham’s scrapbooks, contact the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections and University Archives at 847-491-3635 or specialcollections@northwestern.edu.
