Dear Diary

Diaries are a delightful peek at the issues, events, and ordinary activities of another human. Just in time for President's Day take a look at Jimmy Carter's Diary. It's not what I call a personal diary. It is the "official log of the president's activities during his administration". There are columns for start time and end time of the event, a column for placed or received a phone call, then a column describing who was involved and what happened.

GALILEO has a link to the Jimmy Carter Library where you can do a site search for the Diary Online. There are many other items of interest at the Jimmy Carter Library through the web site.

Do you keep a diary? Is it personal reflections or a document of events? My Grandpa journaled daily when he and my Grandma traveled. His diary was both personal reflection and the logging of events.
