Sample of the National Archives microfilm. The Peary family deposited
several diaries, numerous documents & letters in 1970. The illustration
(below) shows how it was recorded. The photographed pages are laid out from
left to right as both sides were filmed.

| Peary's diary is a common memo pad. It
had stitching to hold the pages together, while a metal coil is more
common today. |
