Leslie D. Copan fonds

  • RBSC-ARC-1139
  • Fonds
  • 1957-1988

The fonds consists of exercise books, cash books, journals, account books, record books and notebooks, all of which were used for essentially the same purpose. These books detailed Copans daily activities (including shifts, positions and remuneration), in addition to which company he was working for. Two series have been created to reflect this information, and include time books and work record books.

Copan, Leslie D., 1926-

Time Book

The series consists of exercise books, cash books, journals, account books, record books or notebooks. Copan divided each book up into sections in order to keep a detailed account of his activities throughout the years. Entries include date, company worked for, ship name and/or wharf/dock location, type of shift and payment amounts.

Work Record

In August 1985, Copan began keeping more detailed notes on one particular position, that of linesman, and started a new series of notebooks to keep track of this information. Entries include the date, hour in which the shift started, wharf or port name, berth number, ship name, duration of shift, and type of activity (tying up, letting go or lead man).
