Diary from 1956Entry/Object ID
2025.5.141Scope and Content
Item is a blue hard-bound diary from 1956, titled "Dailyaide, The Silent Secretary" in gold print. The journal contains miniature calendars for each month of the year on the inside of the front and back covers along with a yellow floral pattern. The rest of the diary is filled with daily entries written in blue or black ink. Some calculations written on memos are also scattered throughout the diary.
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 1956.Collection
