I Found A REAL Victorian Diary from 1895!!! | My Vintage Collection

[@jessicavill]

What was the most shocking thing about her story? I was surprised she's never seen a Zebra or a Llama before! Haha

[@MyEmeraldLife]

There is a very large antique mall near where I live. I have noticed a few journals there the last few times I have went. Every time I see them I think of you, especially after watching this video. Do you have a P.O. box? I would love to send you one of the journals from there if I ever come across them again, if I may.

[@joewuertenberg1314]

I wish that time machines were invented so I could experience those things for myself. I'm not sure how well I would fair since I'm so accustomed to air conditioning and electronic devices.....not well I'm guessing 😂 but to have been actually alive in that time sounds marvelous! Often I wished I lived in the simpler times.

[@novavenus6990]

This woman never would’ve guessed that her diary would be read to millions of people over 100 years later 💗

[@jessicavill]

Right! She seemed to have hoped someone did though which makes this even more magical! The lady who sold this to me said she was writing it for someone to find it and you can even see check marks and X's because she planned to make a final draft and send it out. Unfortunately she never finished the diary and this was her last draft :/

[@novavenus6990]

Jessica Vill at least we got to see an insight into her life especially in her time when life was completely different back then as it is now :) I think thats my favorite part of old items like diaries or notebooks, because we get to see how life was like from a different time and I think thats beautiful :) thank you for sharing this wonderful diary

Archives is where old historical letters, documents, and diaries are kept. Look up one near you and you can visit and read old diaries and letters of women from different eras. :)

[@bookdear]

@@Τοπαλικάριτουκάμπου It depends on what era you mean. In the United States at least, in the 17th or 18th century, paper was very expensive, so people used very small sheets. What many people don't know is that in the 19th century, a lot of girls and young women were encouraged to write diaries to improve their penmanship and for self-examination. It's true what you say about how few survived due to age and materials. Also, some people didn't think they were "important," so it's possible many were burned (a common practice then of getting rid of paper) or thrown away.

[@jillian9717]

I suggest the dear Canada series even if you aren’t Canadian they are cool

[@brittniep9219]

The only unfortunate part is that people actually did recognize that ancestors might read them and they weren’t always honest! That’s what was so scandalizing about Anne Lister’s coded diary entries, she was entirely honest in them about her sexual exploits.

[@commanderhedgehog590]

I sort of think it’s like a document for my memories, since I tend to forget a lot, so it’s nice to get down my thoughts, since I don’t really have anyone to talk to. I don’t always write it in, but it’s still nice, and I sort of use my journal as a semi collage too, like taping pictures, receipts, school ids, or anything really in my journals as a time capsule, like if anything changes in the future and stuff like that. Think of Anne Frank’s diary!

the book looks like it was really taken care of that is why the writing is still perfect and there isn't a lot of water damage for those asking. if the book had been put in a box somewhere where it was stored in a damp place the pages would be damaged. also paper in 1895 did have the blue lines.

[@EM-fi6yq]

I thought it was interesting to see the language is pretty 'normal'. In Victorian books or films on the era, people always talk so eloquently. Which can be a joy to read/hear, but it sounds so surreal. I always wondered if the upper class really spoke like that. Seems like they didn't always do.

I loved this diary reading. A year in someone's life that may have been unknown, but now the world is aware of them and their experiences. I am sure she would have never thought what she wrote would be seen and shared. Awesome. I have an 1858 diary from a guy in MN before and after it became a State. I struggled with the old cursive writing in my videos also. Have you researched her and found out more about her life?

[@Julia-cb8wm]

Not to be “that gal” but you should be wearing gloves when handling this. The paper is very delicate and the leather cracked a lot. The oils on your fingers will increase the deterioration of the diary. If you don’t have any intention on preserving this than whatever but if you want to keep this intact for a while to show your future children or whomever then wear gloves to keep it in good shape.

[@Julia-cb8wm]

Maroxa’s Way ok

[@Julia-cb8wm]

Maroxa’s Way I did not see that

[@groovypullet2337]

This is actually not true. It's a common misconception that people should wear gloves when handling old paper or parchment. It's true that when handling many old objects you should preferably wear nitrile (non reactive) gloves, but it's discouraged with books. Parchment actually benefits from oils in hands because it's made of leather, while paper, which may get stained or damaged, is generally ok as long as you make sure hands are clean and dry when handling it. Gloves are discouraged, because the lack of feeling in your fingers makes you much more likely to drop or tear paper. So just wash your hands and be careful. More important for long term preservation is storage. Depending on the type of paper you should keep it in conservation grade packing and in the dark 🙂 Source: I work in a museum.

[@brittniep9219]

That’s actually entirely wrong. You should have clean and dry hands, gloves can lead you to harming books more by lack of texture on the skin. Edit: saw above much more detailed comment haha I’m a book collector and so do a fair amount of research on the topic but I do not work in a museum.

The duchess of Dino died, as you said, in 1862 but her son, who was the 3rd Duke of Dino married in 1839 and his wife would have inherited the title. I'm not sure but his mother would then have been called the dowager dutchess, in English at any rate. The new dutchess of Dino did not die until1891 so could well have been seated near Marianne.

I loved seeing my name on the first page, it’s not too common anymore so seeing it in the Diary was really cool💕. The best thing I’ve ever found was a love letter written from a man to a woman, undated, stuffed into an astrology book on my mom’s shelf. It wasn’t addressed to anyone in the family, so it must’ve been written and hidden before she owned it sometime in the 70’s. It was so sweet it almost felt wrong to read 😂
