People have kept personal diaries for more than 500 years. Most were written as personal records about the times the writers lived through or events that happened to them, but they are often fascinating for other people to read.
Samuel Pepys (1633-1703)
Pepys kept a diary for nearly ten years from 1660. He lived in London and wrote about events such as the Great Plague and Great Fire of London. He wrote in a special code, which was not translated until the 19th century, Pepys' original diaries are kept in the library of Magdalene College, Cambridge.
John Evelyn 16201706
Evelyn was an English writer and gardener who lived at about the same time as Pepys. In his diaries he described the events of the Civil War and many aspects of 17th and 18th-century daily life. The original manuscript of Evelyn's diary is in the British Library.
Anne Frank (1929-1945)
Anne Frank was forced to hide with her family in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during World War II. This was at a time when Jewish people were being persecuted by the Nazis. Anne kept her diary while she was in hiding, but left it behind when she and her family were discovered. She was deported and died in a German concentration camp. Her father survived and edited her diary, which was published after the war. The Diary of Anne Frank became a bestselling book and was translated into more than 55 languages. It has also been made into an award-winning play and a film. The house in which the Frank family hid is now a museum.
