| Item Description: | The term 'journal', Griffis's own preferred term, is used to designate both Griffis's regular diaries, and the occasional journal recording a specific trip. Volumes from early years also include other materials. Later volumes are more strictly notes on Griffis's daily activities.Griffis's early journal work is occasional and sporadic; only in 1877 does he appear to have developed a consistent system for keeping and maintaining journals. The final sequence of nineteen journals [Ac. 2074, nos. 14-32], beginning with this date, was collated and dated by Katharine G. M. Johnson, whose brief notes appear in most volumes. Titles are given as they appear on volume spines. A number of volumes also have one or a few clippings pasted into the front.Box 54/1. |
