Manuscripts
Each Shaker Society kept a journal of the events happening in or around the community. These entries often included notes on the weather, crop information, building plans, arrivals and departures of members and guests, new rules, and other pertinent information. There were often several journals kept at each community covering each of the Shaker families, business areas, and spiritual and temporal concerns.
