IMPORTANT NOTES:
These descriptors are only meant as a vague guide and must be treated with caution. I have not examined the diaries myself, so the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. In many cases, the diaries mentioned on this website will contain good content on descriptor topics for which they have not been listed. There are three types of descriptors: those which describe broad themes of a diary in general (i.e. literary, social, military or travel); subjects where the topic is known to have been of some concern to the diarist (such as weather, education or slavery); and countries outside of the diarist's home nation (where the diarist is known to have written about them). The descriptor 'society' is for diaries which record details about what, for want of a better term, could be called high society, while 'social' is a descriptor for diaries which record details about the behaviour and habits of the less privileged. 'Literary' is a descriptor for diaries considered literary or about the literary world. 'People' is a descriptor for diaries which contain references to famous characters; and 'historyeye' is a term I've used for diarists writing with first hand experience of historically famous events.
