Hi, Jessica,

Hope things are going well for you.

You may have received some answers already from the ARSC Listserv, but here is another suggestion.

I think you would be ok in using the following subject headings:

Edison-Bell Consolidated Phonograph Company, Ltd.
Ledgers

Of course, in your description of the material, you can note that it is a log book containing hand-written entries for .......

Best,

Sara

Subject: seeking LCSH suggestions for Edison Bell log book

Dear list,

We are finishing up a catalog record for an Edison Bell log book from 1926-1933. It contains handwritten entries for each matrix # including date, repertoire, artist, and "musical director's notes."

We are currently trying to decide on an appropriate LC subject heading.
Originally, we thought we'd use "logbooks," but it looks like that heading is primarily used in a nautical context.

I wondered if any of you might be able to suggest a heading more appropriate for record company logs?

Thank you!

Jessica
