The article meets the guidelines (new, long enough, properly cited) and the hook is interesting and referenced. Bemanna (talk) 11:49, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Some of the phrasing in this article appears quite close to that of its sources: compare for example "scrap-albums and commonplace books compiled by Victorian and Edwardian ladies in their leisure time" with "albums and commonplace books mainly compiled by Victorian and Edwardian ladies in their leisure time". Also, some of the content, for example "Her gift of the cards to the University resulted in the establishment of the Ephemera Studies section there", does not appear to be supported by the cited source.
