HOW DO person go about
keeping a diary?
It doesn't need to be hard work,
Leonard say .
"Computers make diary-keeping
much easier these days," he, says.
"It's much quicker to make a daily or
weeldy entry on computer than to
write it out longhand. You can dupli­
cate the disks easily if your family
wants copies someday. Some people
tape record their diary entries, too. In ,
fact, some business people dictate a
journal entry, then have a secretary
transcribe it for them. Video i an­

After deciding what to write, a
person needs to make sure that what
he or she is writing will last.
"I know one woman who kept a
diary for 25 years in a 100 eleaf note­
book using an inexpensive ballpoint'
pen and paper that was poor quality.
She wrote on both sides of the page,
and after 25 years the early diaries
were looking like ink blotters. You
need to use fairly good paper wi th
high cotton or rag content, then use
good quality ink. I like to type my
diary into a computer then print it

Leaders of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints have long
counseled their members to keep dia­
ries or journals. "
We have 3,000 or 4,000 diaries in
the church's historical department
and hundreds of thou aOOs of our
members keep diaries today, "
Leonard said. "Som church mem- t
bers keep their diari in their fami­
lies, and others may donate them to
the church. The diaries are preserved
for historical research and reference,
and famili use them for family his­
tories.
