DescriptionThe Green Book cover 1 January 1866 - 24 March 1935 and are contained in 26 volumes. There is a gap 12 August 1887 - 1 January 1901.

As well as detailing activities and events, they include the emotions and thoughts of Constance Maynard, and extracts from things that she has read or heard. She often summarises her year on the 31st December and sets herself targets at the beginning of the new year.

Where an event or moment of interest are detailed in the item description, the date given is the date on which it is mentioned in the diary.

They include contemporary events such as the Franco-Prussion War, World War I, Labour's first government, and the outbreak of cholera.

They remain in the order in which she wrote them.

The Green Books contain astrological symbols as part of the date to indicate the day. For instance the symbol for Saturn is used for Saturday.

The Green Books also include use of the @ symbol. Constance Maynard seems to be using this in place of the word 'about'. This is consistent throughout the Green Books.

The Green Books also include a symbol HMK, this represents Constance Maynard's Cousin Mary [HM King], and is often used along side something she has said or written.
Admin HistoryThe missing diaries were allegedly destroyed by Frances Ralph Gray.
ArrangementThis series is arranged by original order, which is chronogically.
