Function and purpose

This series consists of lighthouse station log books for operations at the lighthouse on Deal Island. The following information was regularly recorded:

-         wind direction and force;

-         barometric pressure;

-         temperature;

-         and remarks regarding daily activities.

Occasionally, additional information was recorded regarding events on Deal Island. For example, the log book for 1944-1946, contains a map of the graves of four airmen who died in a plane crash on the island in 1943. It also gives details of visitors to Deal Island between 1890 and 1926.

Physical characteristics

Bound volumes and paper files with photocopies of transcribed notes.

System of arrangement and control

The volumes are arranged chronologically by the dates of the entries within the logs.

Series history

In 2006 a National Archive’s researcher donated a photocopy of a log book and notes from other log books not in National Archives of Australia custody. These items were taken into custody by the Archives with each item clearly labeled as a copy of an original or a transcript from an original volume.
