item is the daily diary of John Hunter, a carpenter in Williamsburgh, Ontario, in the nineteenth century.

Hunter's diary contains daily one line entries commenting on the weather, or the nature of the day's work. Additional information may include where or for whom he was working. The work was mostly carpentry, and he comments on going to mills for planks or lumber, lathing, or working on porches or furniture, and laying floors. But Hunter appears to be a jack-of-all-trades, and other entries refer to the following: shingling; painting; working on outside of house; building skiff keel; glazing windows; and boat building.

Though little is known about Hunter, the diary reveals that he worked in the Williamsburgh and Morrisburg area of Dundas County. He enjoyed skating in the winter, and was religious, spending many of his Sundays going to church services (both Lutheran and Presbyterian are mentioned) or for a 'preaching'.
