- Summary
- This scrapbook (1947-1964) is about Puerto Rican life in New York City and contains clippings from a variety of newspapers. Coverage includes the influx of Puerto Rican immigrants during this time period, the poor quality of available housing, the prejudice experienced by Puerto Rican immigrants, the need for more resources to help immigrants improve their quality of life, and the ways in which the Catholic church helped the Puerto Rican immigrant community assimilate to life in New York City. Publications include New York Home News, New York Post, and New York Times. Not all clippings contain date or source information.

- Biography (note)
- The Schomburg Center Scrapbooks are a collection of 296 volumes assembled by library staff between the 1920s and 1960s, to supplement the collection of black history resources that would later form the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. The staff were strategic in their clipping, choosing to highlight black voices and topics of particular interest to the African American community. The scrapbooks are organized by topic and consist primarily of newspaper clippings, unless otherwise noted.
- Provenance (note)
- The Schomburg scrapbooks may have grown out of the clipping file, when librarian Catherine Latimer assigned WPA workers to clip African American and mainstream newspapers and assemble them into scrapbooks. Two or three scrapbooks on Marcus Garvey went missing around 1960.
