This introduced the element of one's personal being into everyday writing. Scrapbooks are everyday writing because they allow the reader to reflect on times gone by with a fondness of memory as well as give a snapshot on the present state of local culture at that time. Scrapbooks often also include annotations which make them an undeniable part of everyday "writing" ad this placement of photos mixed with annotations leads to a ritual that stirs emotion. They also become a piece of historical documentation as future generations will look upon them and see how people they know and care for looked and acted in the past.
