Scope and Content

Item is a hard-bound brown leather journal, titled "Diary 1968" on the front cover. The journal belonged to Birdie Viola Crooks, who was born on August 12, 1889 in Arvada, Colorado. Her family moved to Broomfield in 1893 when she was just four years old, and she lived there for ninety years until she passed away on August 1, 1985. She documented each day of the year, from January until December, and her memories provide invaluable insight into the Broomfield lifestyle in 1968. The diary features miniature calendars for each month on the inside of the front and back covers, and Crooks recorded her adventures in pen.
