Missouri Memories: A Diary Project
Diaries offer an intimate view into the life and thoughts of a specific individual that may not be found by reading letters or books. The Manuscript Collection of The State Historical Society of Missouri has an extensive collection of diaries written by Missourians, including farmers, pioneer wives, students, teachers, and soldiers, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While diaries often contain an individual's reflections and thoughts for a given day, they also include observations of national and international events as seen through the eyes of the writer.
