Papers, 1897-1906.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/172818340

This collection records some of the daily everyday activities of a middle class family from the Reading, Pennsylvania area. The collection consists a group of printed pocket diary books which had space for short entries on each day. The writers used these books primarily to record brief descriptions of their activities and appointments. H. Herbert Wanner's diaries include entries describing his medical school studies, family visits, growth of his children, and attendance and participation in church activities as well as financial accounts of expenses and income. Mary A. Wanner's diary is slightly more detailed in describing her daily activities, such as meetings with her future husband, church events, and personal hygiene matters (hair washing). The entries in almost all the books are not complete. The writers tended to fill the books regularly at the beginning of the year and then leave most of the entries of latter half of the books empty.
