content: Two mixed-media scrapbooks were compiled by Prentiss. An copper-embossed scrapbook was painted by Prentiss and concerns the Boston Public School Teachers' Art Workshop of the early-1960s. Found are phtographs of the programs administrators, Kathryn Conroy and Miss Elizabeth Giliam; photographs of the building and office space; and of works of art by students. The scrapbook also contains typed instructions for elementary school-aged student projects such as macaroni frames and string art. The back of the scrapbook contains photographs of Betty Parsons and an unidentified man during a Boston Art League tour in 1964. 

A dismantled scrapbook contains material regarding Prentiss's early career and includes her art school diploma and an article she wrote and illustrated for American Cookery, "Imagination with Meats" from 1944. Also found are her designs for holiday cards and advertisements.
