Scope and Content

The time books record attendance at work of various types of workers. These records are an interesting indication of the effects of a transition to a factory system of working, where the monitoring of workers by employers becomes more explicit. These records are fairly rudimentary examples of employer surveillance, as they only record parts of the day worked.
