Scope and Content of the Collection
Artwork, correspondence, family papers, printed ephemera, scrapbooks and photographs, (including slides and negatives), and a wallet.
Artwork includes doodles, sketches and a painting. Correspondence includes letters between the Jacobsens and friends and family. Condolences for Mollie Jacobsen’s death, Jacque Jacobsen’s death and letters from Felicia Terry to Jacobsen comprise the majority of the correspondence. There are also World War II letters with doodles from Joseph “Slug” Dresmal to his sister Ann “Butch” Dresmal. Both family papers include birth, death, marriage and divorce records and newspaper clippings relating to both the Dresmal and Jacobsen families. There are announcements for Jacobsen’s exhibitions during the early 1950s as well as other various printed materials. The scrapbooks are from the Heda/Dresmal side of the family. The photographs consist of prints, negatives and slides of Jacobsen, Dresmal, family, friends and other identified people. Vintage wedding photos and portraits were of interest and seem to have been collected. A wallet contains Anna Dresmal's social security card, family snapshots, and saints medallions.
