- 1877-1881, 1911; Transcribed 1999
The fonds consists of a transcript of a diary kept by three sisters, Margaret ("Maggie"), Annie Alice, and Charlotte Geddie ("Lottie") Anderson, covering the period 1 January 1877 to 30 June 1881. Some of the entries are signed, with the largest number of entries appearing to have been made by Annie. The diary outlines the teenaged sisters' daily activities as well as those of their family and neighbours. Comments about the weather and events in the community are also mentioned in the diary. The fonds also includes a letter written by Ruth Cairns, daughter of Annie Alice Anderson Cairns, to her cousin Georgia MacFarlane, dated 19 April 1911. Also included are biographical notes about the Anderson and Cairns families provided by the transcriber of the diary, Winifred (Cairns) Wake.
