visitor logs
Entry sign-in sheets
Visitor logs are official records of people entering a building, facility, or premises.
They typically include names, times, and purposes of visits.
The term appears frequently in discussions of government transparency, where White House visitor logs or similar records become matters of public interest: The administration released visitor logs showing who met with the president.
Digital systems have largely replaced physical sign-in books.
