Does anybody want to know what Anne got up to in her missing five days between the entry on the 15th December 1833 and her entry on the 21st December 1833? We suspect the answer to that question will be a resounding yes! Closely followed by “How do you know what Anne did during these five days?”.
Well in true Anne fashion, she wrote it down.
She just didn’t write it down in her diary or even a travel journal. Instead she wrote diary entries for these days in the back of one of her day books! Turns out this wasn’t the only day book Anne recorded journal entries in. Three of her day books, usually containing accounts, also contain journal entries.
Dorjana Širola of the In Search of Ann Walker group contacted us about these entries and kindly provided transcriptions. These transcription’s alongside images of the entries have now been added to our online catalogue! New diary entries are online right now!

In the volumes the diary entries begin with the earliest date on the very last page and the last diary entry in each volume is found towards the middle of the volume. The PDF’s of the transcriptions have been presented in date order for ease of reading but the images appear on our online catalogue in page order according to their position in the volume when reading from the beginning of the each day book.
