*Shameless self promotion*
I have my great-great-grandfather Wilford's diary. He was a farmer in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. He wrote daily between 1907-1910, brief entries about the weather, what he did, who he saw.
My quarantine project has been transcribing it. And so I decided to share it on Twitter. If #smallhistory and updates about hauling manure and sawing logs sounds refreshing, you can follow him at @vanwartwilford.

merelybookish @BarbaraBB Yes! I have discovered the hashtag #smallhistory where people do these kids of projects. For me, it has become a distraction from our current reality. 4y
