Box 03

The Lincolnshire broadsheet folios are a collection of broadsheets, texts, plays, sketches and other ephemera bound into four volumes. The materials date to the 1800s. A few of the items appear older. The items originated in Lincolnshire England.

The folio functions as a scrapbook. The folio's pages hold clippings from newspapers, broadsides, books, maps, and other materials. The pages are arranged in sets and noted with the alphabet rather than numbers. The first set contains clippings of biographies or obituaries arranged on the pages according to the last name. The second set contains clippings and maps of buildings and geographic areas. Materials have a wide range of dates, as early as 1576.
