The earlier instalments of this series include personal journals, dating from 1946-2001, with a few undated. The journals document P.K. Page's time abroad in Australia 1953-1956, Brazil 1956-1959, and Mexico 1960-1964, with her husband, Arthur Irwin, while he served in various diplomatic postings. There are journals from Ottawa and Victoria, journals that record her travels, including trips to Honolulu and New Mexico, and others that document reading tours and writing festivals, including the Eden Mills Festival, September 2001, which has entries re. 9/11. The series also includes a few journals containing only minimal entries among poetry and prose manuscripts.

The instalment received following Page's death contained a larger number of her notebooks than those previous. These notebooks contain a variety of information and records, from notes on household expenditures and contact lists to sketches, poetry drafts, typescript essays, notes on Sufism, notes writing and painting techniques, and copied articles. A number of these books are partially filled.
