Nancy Edelen Diaries, 1951/1953

0.25 Linear Feet

The diaries were kept in three separate appointment books. Each book had the year displayed on its cover, and the pages inside were set up to show the day's appointments. Nancy made her entries in the 1951 appointment book and in the following two years, she made her entries in the books for 1952 and 1953. Because the space assigned for the days' appointments in each book was fixed, she generally limited her daily entries to the space available, but she frequently wrote in the margin to note the time she finished her day (i.e., went to bed). She usually began each day's entry with the time she got up.

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.
