"These scrapbooks, lovingly compiled by Grace Hemingway, provide an unprecedented glimpse into the making of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century," said Tom Putnam, Director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. "From the everyday minutia of childhood, to priceless early correspondence and writings, the scrapbooks are a treasure trove for anyone interested in the early life of Ernest Hemingway."
Spanning the years 1899 to 1917, the scrapbooks tell the story of Hemingway’s childhood growing up in Oak Park, Illinois, and vacationing at the Hemingway family’s cabin in Northern Michigan.

"From his birth to his high school graduation, Ernest Hemingway's mother kept photo filled scrapbooks documenting his life -- and his summers in Michigan. The JFK Presidential Library (where Hemingway's papers are preserved) has just posted digital versions of the 5 scrapbooks at its website. This is a great resource for those interested in his Michigan experiences."
-- Michael Federspiel, President of the Michigan Hemingway Society
