2025.5.54Scope and Content
Item is a red hard-bound journal from the year 1977. The cover features the title "Dailyaide" spelled out in gold ink; the words "The Silent Secretary" are printed below it in black. The image of a quill and ink well hides beneath these words. The insides of the front and back cover feature miniature calendars for each month, as well as images of the zodiac signs. Tucked beneath the front cover is a circular piece of textured iridescent blue paper.
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 1977.Collection
