The two-column layout of the hardbacks<\/h3>\n

The page layout and\u00a0editorial insertions are designed to guide the reader along the way. It is helpful to have the explanatory notes, citation of sources and cross-references aligned as closely as possible with the relevant part of the text.<\/p>\n

For that reason marginal notes (sidenotes) have been adopted, as shown in this example.<\/p>\n

\"Mary

Diary 4, pp. 256-7: the wreck of William Hardy jnr’s sloop Nelly<\/em> in February 1804<\/p><\/div>\n

The eye can quickly check the note before moving on; or, to preserve the flow, the reader can wait until the end of that day’s entry to check the notes.<\/p>\n

This two-column layout allows space for the informative captions accompanying each illustration.<\/p>\n

\n

Photocopies of the original manuscripts<\/h3>\n

For those who wish to study the manuscripts, paper photocopies of all the diary pages written by Mary Hardy and Henry Raven are lodged in six large boxes in Norwich at the Norfolk Record Office (NRO) under the general catalogue reference FX 376<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The accessioning by the archivists reflects the dates of each of the five large ledgers in which Mary Hardy wrote her diary (FX 376\/1<\/strong>\u2013FX 376\/5<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

A sixth reference covers the photocopy of Henry Raven’s manuscript diary, from his ledger \u00a0(FX 376\/6<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The details for Mary Hardy and Henry Raven can be accessed from the NRO online catalogue<\/a>. Just type the individual reference into the catalogue search box (either Quick Search or Advanced Search).<\/p>\n

The results can be downloaded in printable form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
