The route book collection documents the history of a variety of circuses. The quantity and quality of information varies widely. Route books always document the route of a circus for a given year but often they include information on important events which occurred during the season and the names of performers and personnel involved with the circus, equipment statistics, and photographs. A performer or person was generally not included in a route book unless they were involved with the circus for the entire year
