These records (?) are part of a list of things found on a shipwreck. Could they be just "crew service records" ?

Suggestions appreciated.

Mtks, Cristina, I shall just translate it literally as you say, in the absence of any other indication in the text of what these "notes" were.

Not sure if this makes sense in your context Sue, but it certainly seems to be one way that "nota de serivço interno is used".

Can the customer not give you some context to help you get a more accurate translation or at least understand the meaning a bit better? It's always a bit risky using cognates, isn't it?
