This scrapbook was compiled by Laura Jackson during her time as an undergraduate at Barnard and afterwards as an alumna. The scrapbook has a narrow focus on Barnard, with no personal annotations or letters. The scrapbook contains a detailed record of her exam results, beginning with entrance exam materials and continuing through final examinations during her senior year. Highlights include a grammar-oriented 1890 English exam and the questions from Jackson's entrance exam. The scrapbook continues past Jackson's graduation, containing invitations from the college to alumnae events and articles from various newspapers about Barnard. The last section of the scrapbook contains articles about Barnard from Jackson's days as a student. The scrapbook also contains newspaper clippings about Barnard and women's education.
The scrapbook is arranged in a bound volume by topic, and chronologically within each topic.

Pages were encapsulated in polyester film. The volume was post bound in full cloth and titled use a gold-stamped leather label. Conservation treatment perfomed in February, 2007.
