Album 11 is 1 of 11 bound albums which include Victorian scapbooks, and catalogues and order books for greeting cards, and donor's presentation albums. This album is part of a collection which also includes loose items, artifacts and general ephemera with photographic and philatelic elements.

This album is a pocket type of album used for First Day Covers and other philatelic items, with marbled burgundy/red plastic covers with title: First Day Cover stamped in gold lettering, on front cover and spine. Folios are black textured plastic with 4 clear plastic photo pockets per folio, recto/verso. Folios originally held loose Christmas cards and other items. Album comprised also of loose folios of same type and loose smaller black velvet card folio with plastic tape stripping pockets.

Items were originally arranged and kept within this album by the creator of the collection, Kenneth Rowe. This was likely a safe and secure housing method for small and fragile items. Individual items have been removed from this original arrangement, for conservation and better physical control and access through item-level accessioning.
