The collection, composed of 101 color photographs with accompanying text and three examples of textiles, is a composite of
project work with the Hmong and Mien Hill people in Merced and Khmer, Khmu, Laotian and Vietnamese people in Northern California.

A majority of the photographs are 7 x 10", the largest is 13 x 20”.
Additionally, 320 slides from original photographs by Eric Crystal have been converted to digital images on CDROM and depict
