McDaniel College (Hoover Library-Archives)

The McDaniel College Library will provide conservation treatment for seven diaries (1890–1895) written by its founder James Thomas Ward, a Methodist minister and avid diarist. Ninety-nine of Rev. Ward’s diaries are held by the college and the Library of Congress. They are an essential source for information concerning the college, Maryland history, Methodism, and nineteenth-century domestic life.
