Bertha Mohr was the daughter of Robert Moritz Mohr, a pipe organ maker whose family lived in Greenwich Village, New York City. The Bertha Mohr diary records her domestic and social activities of 1892, including household chores, entertainments and educational events, and visits made and received. Among the events Mohr recorded was New York City's commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in America. The diary entries are short, most consisting of no more than four or five brief sentences. The diary also holds a few small clippings.
