Summary/Abstract: Personal diaries are instructive historical sources for learning more about the lives, thoughts, feelings and experiences of individuals, as well as providing insight into the environment, socio-political context and atmosphere in which the authors were living. This also applies to the siege of Sarajevo. This article presents 30 personal diaries written in Sarajevo between 1992 and 1995 which have been published as books during or after the war. The overview provides bibliographical indications about the published version(s) and translations for each diary, short biographical info about the author, as well as information on the months and years covered, the rhythm of diary entries, the content and the editorial apparatus. Short extracts of each diary have been added in order to provide a more concrete idea about their content and writing style and at the same time a kaleidoscope of different but also recurrent topics in the individual experiences related to the siege.
