The Shingwauk Indian Residential School used double entry bookkeeping in the maintenance of its financial records. Financial transactions were entered in the journal the first time they were processed. The transactions were then posted to financial ledgers on a monthly basis.
Entries Included: Daily, Weekly and Monthly financial record for the School
Notes: This ledger includes a detailed financial record for the school for the dates between January 1, 1887 to January 4, 1894. The beginning of the ledger includes around 5 pages of accounts aligned to E.F. Wilson, followed by 3 pages of Outside Trades accounts. The remainder of the ledger is “General Accounts” aligned to the school. These include teacher and staff salaries, costs aligned to the industries at the school, items sold from the school (farm, garden, weaver, etc.) to members of the public and commercial accounts.
