Anne Wilson Rowe Galleries

Welcome to the Anne Wilson Rowe galleries. To learn more about Anne Wilson Rowe, click here to view her genealogy page.

Here, you will find photographs and scans dating from the 1930s to the 1950s. These scans come from a variety of scrapbooks, including Anne’s childhood “Scottie Dog” scrapbook, dated 1936-1948, Anne’s high school “My Graduation” scrapbook, dated 1953, a green fleur-de-lis scrapbook, dated 1956 and containing older contents, and her 1955 calendar and diary. Box numbers indicate the physical location of these artifacts, used mainly for our own organizational purposes. These materials range from Anne’s childhood experiences to her engagement and honeymoon memories.

Clicking each photo will bring you to a separate page that includes that photo’s file name and text-to-speech reader. To view these photos full-screen, click them once more from their own pages.
