  Chinese immigration to the United States.

  anyway.

What is a Scrapbook?

• A scrapbook is a book with blank pages used for
  the mounting and preserving of pictures,
  clippings, or other mementos (dictionary.com).
• A scrapbook includes mementos of everyday life,
  not just historical records.
• Some memories that might appear in a scrapbook
  are an advertisement for a theatre show, a movie
  ticket stub, a menu from a restaurant, souvenirs
  from vacations, the receipt for your first car, a
  photo of your first house, awards at work,
  diplomas for education, holiday celebrations,
  family events, and photos.
