Title:: Lydia H. Hart Diary 1813, 1823-1831, 1875

0.03

Diary, 1823-1831, 1875 and loose papers, 1813, 1831 (transcription) and undated of Lydia H. Hart Walden, Orange County, New York. The Diary was started by Lydia H. Hart, the wife of the Reverend William H. Hart of St. Andrews Church in Walden. She recorded events and thoughts, and many entries refer to religion. She also included lists of things received and given away as well as writings of interests copied from friends or published. It is possible that parts of the diary might have been used by other family members. One entry is a a 1875 transcript of a 1829 entry "form another book." and since Lydia H. Hart died in 1831, it must have been entered by someone else. The name Maria W. Hart, is written in one of the inner covers but the first few pages on that end of the volume have been cut out as have some of the pages withing. Some entries were made in Walden, others in Richmond, Va. and some are headed N.Y. In the 1831 letter Rev. William H. Hart reports his wife's illness and passing to a friend; judging from some of the comments in the letter it seems to have been transcribed at a later time.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
