Among her many talents, one of the least
known is her keen scrapbooking skills. As Madam Blavatsky did not do things in
half measures, there are 24 volumes ranging from 110 to 350 pages. Volume one even has some
creative flourishes that one would associate with modern scrapbooking, such as
drawings, comments, decorations, and even stickers, with many pithy comments, to be sure. Essentially covering all
the considerable press coverage and essential magazine and newspaper writings of the Theosophical Society throughout her
lifetime. Currently, the first three volumes have been made available
online, with some indexing work in progress:
