http://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/MSS%202216

Boxes 1 and 2 being mostly manuscript material and booklets (as well as a few photographs), and boxes 3-5 being diaries. Most the manuscript material is typescript in form, coming from various persons. Boxes 3, 4, and the first folder of 5 contain all 33 of Lucy Grant Cannon's diaries. Some of her diaries overlap, meaning she apparently kept, sometimes, two or even three diaries at the same time. Her last six diaries, black in color, have her husband's name (George J. Cannon) embossed on the front. Box 5 also houses seven diaries of Bertam Fredrick Willis, and two diaries of Lester Jenkins Cannon.
