content: This series comprises six diaries kept by Henri Vever. They span the years 1878 to 1901 and all are handwritten and in French. All the diaries include later annotations by Mr. Vever's grandson, Francois Mautin. The diaries document the day-to-day happenings of Mr. Vever's personal and professional lives. The earliest of the diaries dates from 1878. The diary from 1891 documents Vever's travels to Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Four diaries are sequentially titled, "HV [Henri Vever] 1", "HV2", "HV 3", and "HV 4". These four diaries contain continuous entries starting in 1898 and ending in 1901. The series is arranged chronologically.
