The diary interface allows for navigation through the scanned diary pages. In some diaries, pages that did not have writing on them were not scanned. You can change the Month, Day, and Year and press "Go There". This will direct you to the actual diary page, or if the page was blank, the closest available entry.

The movement buttons permit the user to move forward and backward one page at a time, or five pages at a time. Since not all pages may have been scanned, this may lead to unexpected pages.

Included with the John Chatfield Page diaries are notes and a partial transcript (which will appear in a separate window). Opening and searching this text with your web browser's Find command will help you narrow in on particular dates, events, and individuals.

Click on the "Beginnning" button above to start viewing the diary.
