The Blavatsky Scrapbooks

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:
