Today, the Town of Westport is the steward of these federally owned works, most of which have been restored and remain on public view.;The Raymond Donnelly World War II Scrapbook Collection is composed of one scrapbook that Donnelly created in 1946.

The scrapbook is disassembled and contains 31 sheets, or 62 pages, with photographs on each page. Each page is 10 inches long and 13 inches wide. The photographs vary in size, but most are 4x5 inches. All photographs are in black and white. Some photographs are attached to the scrapbook with black corner, and some with tape. While the scrapbook is generally in good condition, users should exercise care.
