INTRODUCTION

The Daily Diary is a minute‑by‑minute log of President Ford's official and social activities, noting attendees at meetings and persons to whom he spoke by telephone, and where and when these contacts took place.  The sections below describe the Daily Diary, the index compiled by the Ford Library staff, the electronic version of the Diary, and related materials among the Ford Library's holdings.

The Daily Diary
During the Ford administration, personnel attached to the Staff Secretary's Office compiled the Diary.  In order to make it as complete as possible, the compilers drew upon such sources as:

Telephone operators' logs
Secret Service movement logs
White House Residence Usher's logs
Military Aide's logs
Air Force One flight manifests
Logs of the Aide to the President and the Oval Office reception desk
Daily schedules
Event briefing memoranda

The Diary staff pulled the information together into a single log of Presidential activities for each day and filled in gaps in the sources or resolved conflicts between them by querying staff members involved in the event.  Because of delays in obtaining source materials and resolving problems, they generally completed each day's Diary about three to eight weeks after the day itself.

National Archives personnel, working in the White House complex, had compiled a very similar Diary during the Nixon administration. These Nixon Diaries proved instrumental in retrieving White House tapes for the Watergate Special Prosecutor.  Perhaps it was in reaction to the Nixon experience that the Ford administration closed the National Archives' White House liaison office early in the administration and stopped the compilation of the Daily Diary.  Even after the preparation of the Diary resumed several months later, the Ford administration considered the Diary a very sensitive document and severely limited access to it.

In January 1975 the White House Staff Secretary's Office hired Susan Yowell, the former compiler for the National Archives, to resume preparation of the Diary.  Yowell and her assistant Ellen Jones continued this work throughout the remainder of the administration and all through the Carter presidency.  Yowell and Jones began the retrospective compilation of the missing 1974 Diaries in November 1975 and completed the project in January 1977.  An exception is November 17‑25, 1974, when President Ford was on his overseas trip to the Pacific Basin.  The Diary staff was unable to locate the Military Aide's log for this trip and therefore could not reconstruct the President's activities.  They substituted schedules showing planned activities in place of Diaries for these days.

The Diary form simplified and standardized the recording of information about a day's activities.  Date and day of the week, as well as the place that the day began, appear at the top of each page.  For each activity the form provides a space for the beginning and ending time.  For telephone calls, a code indicates whether the President placed ("P") or received ("R") the call.  The form provides space for a short description of the activity, but this is seldom more than a few words long and only occasionally indicates the subject discussed.  The compilers listed attendees at meetings of small groups in the narrative and attendees at meetings of large groups in appendices.

Although the Diary is exhaustive and generally accurate, it cannot be regarded as authoritative.  Certainly, the Diary is no more accurate than the variety of logs and other sources upon which the the staff based it.  Because they completed the 1974 Diaries a year or two late, some sources were hard to find and it was also difficult to verify facts with participants.  For example, Yowell and Jones missed several telephone logs for August 1974 which may now be found in the collection "President's Telephone Logs" (Staff Secretary's Office).

In addition to multiple copies of the Diaries and the source materials used in their compilation, the collection includes a Subject File containing a small amount of administrative materials about the Diary office, plus such items of note as a September 1974 study of presidential time allocation and several payroll lists for the White House which are useful for studying personnel changes in the Ford White House.

The Daily Diary Database
As part of its testing of optical character scanning technology, the Archival Research and Evaluation Staff of the National Archives and Records Administration began a project in 1988 to convert the Ford Daily Diary to a machine‑readable form.  The Ford Library sent the ribbon copy (original typescript) of the Diary to Washington to help ensure the accuracy of the scanning process. The National Archives hired the British firm Optiram Automation Limited to do the initial scanning and optical character recognition work and then spent months checking the electronic version of the Diary for accuracy, reformatting it into a data file structure suitable for use with the "askSam" text retrieval software, and designing retrieval formats.

The National Archives staff who worked on the project feel that they achieved a high degree of accuracy in the electronic version of the Diary, in spite of the poor quality of many of the appendices (which are often photocopies rather than originals).

The Daily Diary database includes only the Diaries and appendices. None of the source material found in the Ribbon Copy series is included.  The value of the Daily Diary database lies in making available the information which was not indexed by the Ford Library staff in 1977 (see the description of the Daily Diary index below).  For instance, one could search for the number of times Henry Kissinger saw the President or even the total amount of time they spent together in any given time period.  In addition to names, it is possible to search on words such as "golf" or "Cabinet."  Researchers should be aware that the electronic version of the Diary retains any inconsistencies in spelling or word usage that were present in the hard copy. The Ford Library staff will be glad to conduct searches of the Daily Diary database for researchers.

The Daily Diary Index
Beginning in 1972, the Diary staff used the White House Central Files computers to index the Nixon Daily Diaries.  The Carter Daily Diaries had a similar index.  Although the Ford Diary staff made several proposals to implement such indexes, they were never approved (see Box 1 ‑ "Diary Office Administrative Memoranda").

In 1977, Ford Library archivists manually prepared a very selective name and geographic index as an internal work aid.  This index is available in the research room card catalog.  White index cards contain listings of Presidential meetings, while blue index cards refer to telephone calls.

The index is selective.  It excludes:

The index does include:

Related Materials (August 1990):    
White House Central Files Subject File category PR 7 and its subdivisions concern the President's schedule and category TR concerns his trips.  The President's Telephone Logs contain lists of his contacts by telephone.  The papers of Press Secretary Ron Nessen contain much on the President's schedule, as do scattered folders in a number of other collections.  The files of the Scheduling and Advance Office currently are unprocessed and not available for research, but the files of director Jerry Jones may be opened by 1991.


Series Descriptions

Boxes 1‑7: Subject File, 1974‑77.  (2.8 linear feet)
Press releases, calendars, logs, memoranda and printed materials collected as background materials for compiling the Daily Diary and for identifying individuals; and lists, memoranda and reports produced by the Diary office either in response to questions regarding the President's work or as summaries of his activities.  One presidential time allocation study for September 1974 is included, as is a small amount of administrative office files concerning access and computerization.
Arranged alphabetically by subject.

Boxes 8‑10: Name Card File, 1974‑76.  (1.2 linear feet)
Card file used by the Diary office to identify personal, social and some official acquaintances of the President or individuals associated with the government.  Entries often indicate relationships to the President and his family.
Arranged alphabetically by name.

Boxes 11‑22: Daily Diary Work Copy, 1974‑77.  (4.8 linear feet)
Photocopies of the typescript Daily Diary which appears in the Ribbon Copy series (see below). Researchers interested in examining just the Diary and not the source materials used in its compilation should consult this series or the Daily Diary database.  The source material appears with the File Copy (see below). The Ford Library staff highlighted selected names on this copy of the Diary in the course of creating a partial index.
Arranged chronologically.

Boxes 23‑60: Daily Diary File Copy, 1974‑77.  (15.2 linear feet)
Photocopies of the typescript Daily Diary which appears in the Ribbon Copy (see below), plus the source material used for its compilation.  The source material includes logs of his activities compiled by his staff, military aides, the White House Communications Agency, and the Secret Service; plus telephone logs, lists of attendees at meeting and social events, White House press releases, and occasional briefing papers and notes between the Diary staff and other White House officials attempting to confirm details about a specific event.  Researchers who do not need the detail contained in the source material should consult the Work Copy or the Daily Diary database.  Open by review on request.
Arranged chronologically.

Boxes 61‑71: Daily Diary Staff Secretary's Copy, 1974‑77.  (4.4 linear feet)

Boxes 72‑85: Daily Diary Ribbon Copy, 1974‑77.  (8.4 linear feet)
Original typescript of the Daily Diary.  The Diary staff made photocopies of this file to create the Work, File, and Staff Secretary's Copies.  This is the copy that was used in 1988 for scanning to create the Daily Diary database and is the one that is currently (2009) being use to create digitized copies for the web and the Archives Research Catalog of the National Archives.
Arranged chronologically.

Boxes 86‑115: Daily Diary Backup, 1974‑77.  (12.0 linear feet)
