Papers, 1887-1986 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232007055

Collection consists of Mildram's diaries, and photographs and slides of her, her family, and friends. Also included is a biography of Mildram by her daughter Barbara, which provides genealogical information and a guide to names and abbreviations used in the diaries. Diary entries are short; they cover the years 1917-1922, 1924, 1926-1933, and 1936-1972, and record the activities of a middle-class woman, and her familial, health, civic, and business concerns. There is occasional mention of a miscarriage, and Mildram's use of a code during 1920 suggests that she took measures to prevent pregnancy.
