Scope and Content:

The Sanborn Family Association Records consist of association records and family papers. The majority of materials were kept in scrapbooks with sticky, high-acid pages. All materials have been removed from these scrapbooks. The association materials document the activities of the Sanborn Family Association, primarily reunions (which were held annually 1929-1941, 1985-2001, and biennially 2003-2015), for which there is usually (but not always) registration information and lists of attendees, minutes, and photographs, both formal and informal. These are arranged chronologically as found in the scrapbooks. Another scrapbook was kept about the Ancestral Trip to England in 1989. This material has been placed in folders in the order in which it was found. Finally, there are several books on Sanborn-related subjects. The family papers contain items relating to individual family members. Scrapbooks labeled “Clippings” (largely, but not entirely newspaper clippings) have been disassembled and the clippings placed in folders in alphabetical order (except for a few pages that could not be disassembled, which are intact in a separate folder). Correspondence or items relating to individuals are filed alphabetically by surname, and include incoming correspondence (1896-1915) received by what appears to have been several members of an extended family, though their relationship to each other, if any, is unknown.
