Donna Santisi was a photographer and documentarian of the Los Angeles punk scene from 1976-1980. She published Ask the Angels,
a book of her black and white photographs documenting this scene in 1978 which became a "cult classic" and features essays
by Alice Bag, Trudie, Exene Cervenka, Brendan Mullen, and others.
The bulk of this collection contains publications which published Santisi's photographs. In addition to these publications
which Santisi collected, the collection also includes ephemera she saved such as ticket stubs to shows, back stage passes,
flyers, correspondence, buttons, posters, invoices, several books, a scrapbook, a Runaways scarf, and two audiocassettes.
This collection is primarily comprised of punk rock ephemera created to document the Los Angeles punk scene between 1973-2017.
The bulk of the materials were created between 1975 and 1980.
