Do not read this thread unless you want to spoil the game!
The names of all the diaries are now complete, we just need locations on most of them.
There are 122 Diaries total.
Right, an achievement calls for collecting all the Diaries in the game. I know its only a matter of time before we have a user make a nice map with them all, but for now, a temporary solution is to see how many there are in each level, and the names of them. So, the following is the Diaries I have collected. I know I am missing some, so I will fill them in as we all compare lists.
*You must get these as you start the game, otherwise you will not be able to come back for them unless you start a new game!
Thanks to SRH KRONIC for the images!

This is a complete list as I have the achievement for collecting them all now. I couldn't have gotten them all without the help of the people on this forum I should add. I want to also mention that I found "Andrew Ryan - First Contact" in Farmers Market. I know that everybody else is finding this in Neptune's Bounty but I swear last night I found it in the Farmers Market. I am thinking that if the game wants you to find a particular diary it will move it elsewhere if you passed it. But if you look in Neptune's Bounty you should find it there first, it does list it under Neptune's Bounty for me although I didn't find it there.

According to antoher forum theres one more diary in Hepheaestus that everyone and myself missed. But that is all thats missing because they said they have the achievement. This diary is Andrew Ryan - Imposible Anywhere Else. It could be the one in Andrew Ryan's office which you have to grab before you kill him. I have edited my above list now to include this. Also I have found that there is no diary in Cohen's Apartment so its somewhere else apparently. So it must be somewhere else in Olympus Heights. I'll have to look more thoroughly next time.

If the guide in the other site is accurate, I'm missing only 3:
Fort Frolic
Rodriguez-It's All Grift
Point Prometheus -- Proving Grounds
Suchong-Protector Smell
Andrew Ryan-Mistakes
Does someone by any chance remembers where these are?
Also, I just found a diary that isn't in any of the two lists (don't ask me) The name is Suchong - Changing Employers and it was inside a trash can behind a dor covered by ice in Point Prometheus. The door is the one right outside the labs where you get the Voice Module of the Big Daddy. The trashcan is one of the 2 behind a painting in this room

Hope that's an easy description to follow
I can confirm the above diary location to be correct. I also just happpened to pick up Andrew Ryan - Mistakes. Its located to the right of a gene bank, on top of a small grey machine with levers.

This one is NOT in andrew ryans office. If you go to the vending machine that spits out a bomb which is infront of "heat loss monitoring" go to the right of that and you'll see these huge tire-looking rings piled up. Behind those are some stairs and downstairs on top of a desk is this diary.
Great work thanks for that information! Any idea where the Suchong - Fontaine's Human Jukebox diary is in Olympus Heights -- Apollo Square?
Its in the same apartment where you get the clever inventor tonic. The game points you to that when you first start this level. As soon as you get in the apartment, go left and you'll see a bunch of overturned tables. Behind the tables is this diary on the floor.

Thank you, found it The gene bank mentioned is in the area you get the big daddy armor, there are some stairs leading up in this area, the gene bank is in the room on top of these stairs.
2 more to go
Sweet!!! Found Suchong-Protector Smell
Turn your back to where the above diary was and go to the door on your right, go past the next door and the diary will be above the computer left of the column in front of you.
I hate to be picky but can you be more specific about the location of the "Suchong - Fontaine's Human Jukebox" Diary? Is it in the Apollo Square area or the Olympus Heights area? And which apartment is it? Perhaps details as to where on the map to find the apartment?
Its in olympus heights in the apartment building where you use the code "5744" for the elevator. If you are facing the elevator, it will be the door to your left.
That was it man spot on! I got the achievement immediately after picking this up. Thanks for all your help and I can now confirm that my list above is absolutely complete! Thanks for your help!
Nice job guys getting the achievement. We are working on this Diary Guide... taking a little extra time and work, but we are getting somewhere. Keep those updates coming... please post them here and not messaging, going to have some people edit the thread since I will be away this upcoming week.
im just getting the game. if i happen to miss any. can you go back and get it or do have to wait till you beat it and replay it to get the ones you missed. when you do replay it the diarys you already have are the gone so you know you have it or are they there again. like on gears of war the cog tags arent there on the second play thru if you already picked them up. thanks
Peach Wilkins - Meeting With Fontaine - Once in Smuggler's Hideout, you will come to a place where there is a drill looking device and a gun turret shooting at you. Kill the gun turret and to the right of the gun turret will be the diary leaning against a crate

McDonagh - Freezing Pipes - you must melt the ice that leads to the cure-all area with your incernerate plasmid and it will be under the ice

If youre facing the room with the two turrets, walk along the wall infront of the left turret and you should see the open crawlspace option. That small hole leads you to the diary under the stairs.
Hey - does anyone know where Kyburz - The Dream is in Hephaestus? I've been running around like crazy looking for it - and haven't been able to find it.
As for the question a few posts up concerning "Protecting the Little Ones" - Suchong, it's in the store opposite Genetics - there is an area where you go up some stairs - pass by a Gene Machine (with a view port over looking the operating-like theater for the big daddies) and you can cross a walkway - the Diary is on top of one of the file cabinets as soon as you enter the room (after crossing the walkway). Hope that helps.
To clarify: you enter the facility that has the big daddy voice modifier in it, you climb up some stairs until you can cross some catwalks, head up and around so you cross another catwalk (opposite side), and enter an office like room - turn to your right, and top of the file cabinet should be the Diary.
