A guestbook belonging to John D. Higinbotham that contains dozens of pasted-in newspaper clippings, letters, notes, and printed photographs. At the beginning of the guestbook, there is an inscription that reads “John D. Higinbotham from his sister Alice. May 1920.” The guestbook is full of signatures of various people along with their addresses, although some sections have been cut out of the book.

The names signed in the guest book were signed between the years 1920 and 1939, although some of the materials are dated as late as 1946. Nearly every included letter and note is addressed to John D. Higinbotham.
