Listers, I have been told thatmy great-grandfather's (original Diary) was given by a descendant to a museum library or such. This probably would have been 20-30 years ago. Now I am wondering other than those listed below, do you know of any other place likely to hold such a thing. This is likely to be in the State of Victoria. State Library Vic State Museum Vic National Archives National Library Denise ###################################### Denise Marriott McMahon - ex Melbourne 21 years Brisbane Queensland - Searching - CONWAY - County Clare and N.E.

Denise - Hi there. I was searching for a similar thing - although not as 'general' as a diary - and I discovered that his second wife had given all his paraphenalia to an RSL. In this case the 'diary' was a journal he had kept. So I am suggesting that if you are aware of an organisation he was particularly active or involved with, then that would be a reasonable place to start. I guess you have checked out local Family History Societies etc. Consider also the Maritime Museum, Immigration Museum etc. If the content was of national interest it may well have been handed on to National Archives. I do hope you find it. cheers, Nandina ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise McMahon <helendmc@powerup.com.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 12, 2001 6:37 PM Subject: Museums, Libraries etc > Listers, I have been told thatmy great-grandfather's (original Diary) was given by a descendant to a museum library or such.

Hello Denise, What is the name of the diary writer? I have a few reference books I could check for you if you put up the name. Regards, Ada
