Part of Hall family fonds
This series contains personal diaries kept by Christina Barbara Hall, Benjamin Hall, and Charlotte Hall between 18 October 1795 and 8 May 1886. Christina Barbara Hall's diaries were written while she lived in Andover, Massachusetts, and in Montreal, Quebec. Benjamin Hall's diaries were written from Montreal and during a trip to London, England. Charlotte Hall's diary was written while she lived in Montreal. The diaries chiefly concern weather, news of family and community members, as well as occasional remarks about politics.
Each diary (or set of loose pages) was allocated a separate file because of the size and/or fragility of the volumes, and to maintain consistency within the series. Files in the series are arranged in chronological order. Diaries are mostly bound volumes, though Benjamin Hall's diaries are loose pages.
