Work diary for Forestport operations and maintenance shop, 1959-1972.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81186563

The series consists of a journal of work activities kept by staff at Forestport, a workshop located in the Adirondacks to support the state canal system. The work diary was started by H. Bellinger, who was probably the crew supervisor, on January 26, 1959, and it continues to September 6, 1972. For many years and up until the 1970s a crew was stationed at the Forestport facility to operate and repair the various reservoirs and feeder canals in the Adirondacks. The crew continued maintenance activities which were established in the 1800s, and as a record of such activities the series is particularly useful in understanding and interpreting the operations of those reservoirs and waterways.
