Journal Entries

Journal Entries are notes and drawings that Ellie will add to her journal after interacting with certain objects and experiencing certain events. These are also counted as Collectibles and of course, the opportunities to log these journal entries can be easily missed. Finding all journal entries (and Artifacts) will unlock the "Archivist" Trophy.
