The Tate Springs Hotel registers and guest cards are dated between 1923 and 1940. During this time, the Thomas Tomlinson Estate owned the hotel. Guests signed into the hotel using the dated registers, writing down their name, city of residence, time checking in, and room number. The guest cards maintained a record of guests' visits during the entire year. Notes and correspondence included in the collection indicate that some of the information gathered through the registers and guest cards may have been used to invite guests back to the resort for subsequent visits.
