This is the third in a set of five identical scrapbooks filled from front to back with newspaper clippings and advertisements, all written in French. These clippings are all from newspapers and magazines circulated in and around Montreal and Quebec, most of them from the early 1960s. The clippings don’t seem to follow one particular theme, instead it seems this scrapbook and the others in the set were intended to be a mostly random assortment of them, perhaps as a keepsake or a memento from a trip to Canada. Some of the magazine clippings are informational as well, providing info on the history of French architecture and important historical events. A few of the newspaper clippings even reference cities in Massachusetts, namely Lowell and Lawrence, and though no name is present in the book to identify an owner, these clippings make it apparent that they either lived or had some relative living in either of those two cities.

Large, blue scrapbook with an illustration of geese on the front and the word "French" written on the top of the front cover.

Many of the pasted clippings are beginning to peel.
