Apparently an autograph album is “is a book for collecting the autographs of others. Traditionally they were exchanged among friends, colleagues, and classmates to fill with poems, drawings, personal messages, small pieces of verse, and other mementos.”

They were popular among university students from the 15th to mid-19th century, but have since been replaced by yearbooks.

That honestly sounds like a super cool tradition

Everett True sees the inevitable danger:

  • autograph albums: collect notes from each other
  • yearbooks: add pictures, at the end of the year
  • facebooks: do it at the beginning of the year
  • Facebook: move it online, and spread scams and disinformation
