Dublin Core Metadata

title: Diary of George Shirley Denison

creator: Denison, George Shirley, 1846-1876

description: The diary maintained by George Shirley Denison documents his personal and family life in Toronto. The daily entries of George Shirley Denison were recorded in the back section of a financial ledger, which may have originally belonged to his father. The entries cover a year-long period, from June 23rd, 1862, to June 19th, 1863, when Denison was sixteen and seventeen years of age. The diary illustrates the life of a teen from a prominent family during mid-19th century Toronto. Entries relate to his daily activities and outings, many of which concern his schooling at Trinity College and military exercises. Family matters are often mentioned, as is the weather and events in the city. Several family members are mentioned in the entries, including his parents, his Uncle Richard (Richard Lippincott Denison, 1814-1878), Uncle George (George Taylor Denison, Jr., 1816-1873), his brother Evelyn (Robert Evelyn Denison, 1858-1922), and his Aunt Coates.
