The 15 journals which survived Bella Golden's determination to destroy her personal papers, are simply listed in this guide. Rough notes, taken by the archivist during the processing stage, are included for the researcher's convenience, they may not be copied.

The journals have daily entries and cover the weather, theatrical tours and performances for the year. The New Harmony retirement years recount activities of the Golden family members, social visits, and social club events; births, marriages, illnesses and deaths of townspeople. Occasionally Bella's brief, personal observations reveal a family difficulty or situation, and even more rarely, her deep, personal feelings.
