The Diaries of John Quincy Adams view detail comment email this

"This website presents images of the 51 volumes of John Quincy Adams' diary. ... Adams began keeping his diary, more than 14,000 pages, in 1779 at the age of twelve and continued until shortly before his death in 1848. The diary can be searched by date or by using the detailed timeline. Because there is no transcription ... it is not possible to search the text by keyword." From the Massachusetts Historical Society.
