Diary from 1972Entry/Object ID
2025.5.142Scope and Content
Item is a hard-bound black diary, possibly made of leather, from 1972. The year is printed in gold on the cover, and there is a spiral down the side of the book. The pages within the journal are filled with entries describing the daily life of the owner, and they are penned in blue or black ink. The last page of the notebook contains a series of miniature calendars for each month of the year. Residue from a sticker is present on the bottom right corner of 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 1972.Collection
