Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A searchable digital archive of a Canadian engineer’s 1915–1918 diary, letters, photographs, documents, places, and wartime movements.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

The archive presents a month-by-month record rather than a single undifferentiated transcript, with entry counts visible for each period from February 1915 through December 1918. Its surrounding apparatus includes letters, writings, documents, named people and places, a map, and a gallery, allowing the diary to be read alongside related material. The site identifies the source objects as family-held notebooks, letters, and documents, and credits Andrew Treherne with transcription, research, annotation, and digital preservation.
