| Description | The notebooks contain a mixture of Barbara Steveni's notes on her personal life and professional practice. They include notes on thoughts and feelings, journal and diary entries, 'textual day' entries, which are records of thoughts, ideas and feelings, drafts of letters, notes for plans for her work, records of conversations and meetings, worksheets (her lists of work and jobs to do, both professional and domestic) and are arranged in chronological order. In some instances notes are dated but in many cases they are not and approximate dates have been given. In many cases, Barbara Steveni wrote from both the front and back of a notebook. |
