Custodial history
A note inserted in one of the diaries indicates that a relative of George Webb "save[d] [the diairies] when old plumbing failed in her Bay St. home." The date of this transfer of custody is unknown.
Scope and content
Series contains 32 personal diaries: one dated 1888-1892, and one for each year from 1912 to 1942. The diaries detail Webb's daily life, and contain both personal and work-related information. Some diaries include newspaper clippings, such as obituaries, as well as lists of expenditures.
