Historic Iowa Children's Diaries Digital Collection

Diary entry  

This collection seeks to connect Iowa's youth with state history by showing them how young settlers 150 years ago recorded their lives through diary writing. This digital collection, led by the staff of the Old Capitol Museum on the University of Iowa Pentacrest, contains a sampling of diary entries from the 1860s through the 1900s. Some items feature full-text transcriptions.
