Deborah Norris Logan diary, 1815-1816 Starting in 1815 and continuing to just before her death, Logan began keeping a diary in which she intended to record "whatever I shall hear of fact or anecdote that shall appear worthy of preservation." The diary is over 4000 pages long, and in it can be found accounts of domestic life at Stenton and Logan's views about public and life in the new United States, as well as a good deal of valuable historical and genealogical material related to the Norrises, Logans, and other early Pennsylvania families. This diary was at one time catalogued as Volume 1 of the Deborah Logan Norris diaries but is now cataloged at Volume 28 of the Logan Family papers. This digital record contains seven images of the first five pages of this diary. -
