Review:
These papers consist chiefly of an almost complete run of diaries kept by Oliver C. Ganiard, from 1896 to 1936. Although the daily entries tend to be brief, the information recorded provides a good depiction of farm and rural life in upstate New York during the time period. Weather conditions are a recurrent theme as are details of farm chores at a time when increasing mechanization was transforming farm operations. Tilling fields, planting seeds, harvesting crops, milking cows, making deliveries to the creamery, selling produce, raising and trading livestock are typical chores that were meticulously noted year after year in his diaries. The diaries also provide information about financial transactions as well as news about births, deaths, and marriages.
