Time book mine #19, 1897 - 1898
Scope and Contents
Time books were used as an accounting record that registered the hours worked by employees. These are bound books marked "Time" on the cover, spine, or left hand pages inside the book. Each two page spread covers a whole month and usually contain names of employees and hours worked.
From Wikipedia, "In the 19th and early 20th century time books were separate held records. In those days time books were held by company clerks or foremen or specialized timekeepers. These time books were used by the bookkeeper to determine the wages to be paid." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_book accessed 1/8/2024
