Biographical Note
Easton W. Williams, of Holland, Michigan, was born in Canada, but became an American citizen after moving to Michigan. When World War II broke out, he was in his mid-forties, and was too old to be accepted into the Army. These scrapbooks were his way of participating in the war, by keeping a record of the events through newspaper articles and pictures.
Scope and Contents note
The Easton Williams scrapbook collection consists of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, and pictures covering World War II. Several pictorial reviews of foreign countries and peoples are also included. Newspapers from around the United States were used, as well as several popular magazines. The bulk of the information is from 1929 to 1945, with greater coverage being given to the years 1941-1943. Williams also included a number of articles from 1918 about World War I.
