1. History of Scrapbooking
If you’re someone that’s asked the question, Where did scrapbooking begin, the bad news is
that there is no real definitive answer. Putting keepsakes and mementos in albums or other
safe places is something that has probably been performed since the beginning of time.
Imagine a caveman hiding away the dinosaur tooth from his first successful hunt and scratching
out a symbol he thought represented him, so that his sons could remember what a great
caveman he was – and you have the world’s first scrapbook. Okay, it probably didn’t happen
quite that way, but when talking about the question of where did scrapbooking start, you might
want to fast forward several million years.
Believe it or not, when considering the question of where did scrapbooking begin, you need to
look at men like Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain, both of whom were known to keep their
favorite mementos in decorated books. Wanting to remember souvenirs and have reminders
was actually more of a male habit for many years. Mark Twain actually received a patent for a
self-pasting scrapbook in 1873.
Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook.
Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are
often decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling. Excellentscrapbooking provides
tips for the widely practiced pastime.
The history of modern scrapbooks as they’re typically referred to now began in 1976 in Utah,
when a woman named Marielen Christensen began designing creative pages for her family’s
photo memories. She kept these pages in 3-ring binders, and after assembling over 50
volumes of these memories, was invited to display her albums at the World Conference on
Records in Salt Lake City.
The interest that Marielen generated led to her actually traveling around to demonstrate her
techniques and materials, and eventually to her opening the world’s first scrapbooking supply
store in Spanish Fork, Utah, in 1981.
Of course it’s impossible to say who opened the first online scrapbooking supply store, as
many scrapbook supplies were probably used from simple craft supplies at first. However,
these online supply stores generate tremendous success, as they are easier to operate and
manage and have such low overhead and available to everyone with internet access.
So chances are you didn’t realize all those interesting facts when you began thinking about the
question of the history of scrapbooking , but there you have it. From a caveman’s dinosaur
tooth to important historical figures to modern-day websites, scrapbooking is a hobby that has
grown to worldwide success and is obviously here to stay.
