Diary, March 1993 to April 1993

This series contains diaries created by Frederica Daly that focus on her world travels, life experiences, daily meditations, thoughts, and feelings. The diaries include written journal entries, e-mail printouts of personal correspondence, greeting cards from family and friends, clippings from newspapers and magazines, pamphlets, and brochures as well as sketches, drawings, and other artwork by Daly. The chronological order shows a progression among the diaries from more random and varied entries towards more standardized and formulaic entries. Diaries frequently contain name and contact information of acquaintances at the back. Entries focus on discussion of dreams, sexuality and the inner-self, Native Americans, and travels and experiences with a focus on the American Southwest, Central America, and South America. Other themes include psychology, spirituality, gender and cultural issues, personal growth, and self-development.
