Hi! I jus came across your tumblr and I have to say it’s just amazing!! 😍 I wanted to ask you how / where you read Anne Lister‘s Diary? I’ve been looking for a bit but somehow nothing really worked out and I usually just found small excerpts of a few days. Would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out! ☺️

Hey thanks so much! There’s a really helpful website called Packed with Potential which lists out all the different places to read excerpts from Anne’s diaries. The Book Concierge page lists all the published books that contain entries and the Diary Transcript page lists all the websites/blogs of people that are reading the diaries for themselves and posting their transcriptions online.

I went in HARD when I first got into Gentleman Jack so I read all the published books within a few months and now I’m onto reading the diaries directly. If you didn’t know they are all digitised and available online through the West Yorkshire Archive Service, which means - if you can muddle your way through her handwriting (and code! though that tends to be the easy bit) - you can read as much as you want, whenever you want!

Hope that’s helpful. If you’re interested in a particular time period or looking for something in particular, let me know and I can try and give you more of a steer.
