logbooks
Captain's written chronicles
Logbooks are official records of events, activities, or data kept in chronological order.
Ships maintain logbooks documenting navigation, weather, and incidents.
Pilots keep flight logbooks recording hours and routes.
The term extends to any systematic record: The maintenance logbook showed the car had been serviced regularly.
Also written as two words: log books.
