This scrapbook documents Jergenson's career at General Motors, predominately during his first tenure there, 1936-1947. Photographs, handwritten notes, advertisements, and his design illustrations highlight the many projects he worked on at GM: Greyhound bus, Cadillac, Delco radio, Frigidaire refrigerator, diesel locomotives. The bulk of the scrapbook focuses on the Train of Tomorrow, from initial idea sketches to building the model. He even included ephemera such as letterhead, a matchbook, and a cocktail napkin. Of interest is an automotive design glossary and a vinyl record titled "Wonderful Train of Tomorrow." The last page of the scrapbook has photographs of Jergenson teaching surface development in 1973.

A description, using one of my generative research tools, of switching to online classes during a single week in March, 2020. The tool uses the metaphor of a river journey as an aid to help a research participant tell the story of an experience. In this example, the experience is my own, a test of my converting a physical deck of custom-made cards into an online tool. In this case, the tool worked and we are using it in my courses.
