Video Blog: Newcomer’s Club Scrapbook

University of Richmond student Emily Kerwin created this video that explores a fascinating Richmond organization: the Newcomers Club of Richmond, established in 1950 in order to “promote interest in civic affairs” and “extend a friendly welcome to all newcomers to Richmond by introducing them to other newcomers and starting them on a new social life in the community.” The scrapbook featured in the video is part of a collection of records related to the Newcomers Club of Richmond that are housed in the Valentine’s Archives.
