content: Contains two handmade scrapbooks with photographs, photocopies, drawings, notes, and other ephemera that depict members of Ocho y Media at collective events, meetings, and parties and contain images of art created by members of the collective. 

The first scrapbook (Ocho y Media), compiled by Maribel Salas, is mostly photographs of events held by the collective, including art installations by members, performances from collective members and Harry Carrey, a band. It also includes a page from a comment book with handwritten notes of support and images from the Clothesline Project at Che Café, a domestic violence awareness program connected with the national Clothesline Project organization. Some of its pages are blank, and there are missing photographs, though the hand typed labels remain. 

The second scrapbook (untitled) also includes photographs but has more clippings and other ephemera. Photographs depict events and outings with collective members, as well as a number of photo booth photograph strips. It contains photocopies of handwritten notes from Neubacher and others, programs advertising events with the collection, and contact information sheets for members of the collective.

Both scrapbooks provide important insight to the activities collective members organized. They are a rather amazing window into the experience of being in a 1990s women's collective and show the community, support, and friendship that provided a foundation for the group's activism.
