Diary Transcripts

Several passenger diaries exist in libraries and personal collections across the world.  We are fortunate to have access to some of them. Sections from them are reproduced on this site.

Diary transcripts we currently have transcribed are:


Also provided is an account of the Nancarrow family's migration.  This depiction also paints a picture of the life of a Cornish family, faced with economic hardship in the UK, migrating to work in the Moonta copper mines in South Australia.
