Clippings and photos
A scrapbook is a blank book for preserving and displaying memorabilia—photographs, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, letters, pressed flowers.
The practice emphasizes personal curation and decoration: She kept a scrapbook of her travels.
As a verb, to scrapbook is to engage in this craft, which has spawned an industry of specialty papers, stickers, and tools.
