Railway Employee ledger
Item · ca. 1898- ca. 1939
The large ledger records employee information for railway workers between ca. 1898 and ca. 1939, a time span which encompass several railways (the ledger was likely started by the local Intercolonial Railway office and was continued after Canadian National Railway took over). The amount of information captured for each employee varies, but always includes full name, dates of hiring, position and rate of pay. Some entries include more genealogical information, including place of birth, place of current residence (usually Halifax), religion and even more narrative information like who recommended the individual for employment and reasons for dismissal (including death, laid off, and being called for military service).
