TEI Diary Project at Williams College

HTML - Complete 12 Months
Flash - January Only

The diary of a young farmer from 1869, living near Plattsburgh,NY, was transcribed as a TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) learning exercise. The diary tells of the weather and the daily tasks, as he plants and harvests potatoes, "carries" Grandma to church and to meetings, goes to "quoir", and plays euchre with friends, sometimes staying out as late as "2 1/2".
