Travel journals and slides The series contains itineraries, travel journals and slides from Mary Esslemont's business trips and holidays, 1920s-1970s. In these trips, she often combined business with pleasure, and her journals tend to contain a mixture of conference notes, with details of people, places, food, customs and travel arrangements. They often contain descriptions of medical, educational and social establishments visited, and occasionally also include notes for talks and addresses. 1920s - 1970s
