AI notes: The Panama Canal Record was an official weekly newspaper-style publication issued by the U.S.-run Panama Canal administration from its headquarters at Balboa Heights in the Canal Zone, serving as the authoritative chronicle of canal operations during the era of American control in the early to mid-20th century. Produced for Canal Zone employees, government officials, and interested observers, it combined administrative notices with detailed reports on ship transits, toll revenues, engineering and maintenance work, labor conditions, public health, and community life in the Canal Zone, while also documenting major developments affecting global maritime trade. Although not a commercial newspaper in the traditional sense, the Record functioned as both an internal bulletin and a public reference source, providing carefully compiled statistics and official commentary that today make it an important primary source for historians studying the operation of the Panama Canal, U.S. overseas administration, and daily life in the Canal Zone.
