Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Diaries, accounts and address book of Anna P. (Anne) Warner (b. 1876) of Washington D.C. and Rebecca P. (Bess) Warner, sisters of Washington, D.C. The sisters came from a well-off family and traveled extensively in Europe. They remained single and shared an apartment. It has not been determined if one of the two 1899 diaries and the address book were kept by one of the sisters or by another family member.

Most of the diaries contain detailed entries on their travels abroad, including description of sites visited, names of hotel, restaurants, stores and also of friends and acquaintances who lived in some the their travel destinations. Also included with two of the diaries are a few receipts and business cards.

Mss. Acc. 2010.693 contains a genealogical chart of the Warner family, as well as modern pictures of Brainard Warner's house in Montgomery County, Maryland.
