In addition to the main series of diaries already described, this accession includes nineteen volumes of rough diaries covering all but five years of the period. The record group also includes a journal of receipts and expenditure, 1857-1872; and two notebooks, c. 1862 and 1868-1870.

Added to this is a photocopy of the Armidale Express, 15 April 1957, reporting the address delivered by Rev. Neil Macleod to mark the centenary of Dr Johnstone's arrival in Armidale.

A collection of diaries by the Rev. Thomas Johnstone covering the period, 1860-1906 (with gaps).

The diaries come in two versions, a rough version and a 'fair' copy.
