Star Trek Captain’s Log Search
The Starlog Database is a full-text search over 1,188 captain’s logs, personal logs, and station logs from classic-era Star Trek — every log entry across TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, and the films. Search the exact wording of a log, filter by series, speaker, or log type, or jump straight to a stardate.
What’s in the archive
Every log entry spoken on screen across the classic era — 1,188 in all, drawn from 518 episodes and nine films. The most common are captain’s logs, but the archive also holds personal logs, first officer’s logs, medical logs, and the station logs of Deep Space Nine, from 41 different speakers. Each entry is credited to the officer who actually recorded it — when Spock takes the conn and logs for Kirk, the entry is Spock’s.

How the search works
Type any phrase to match the full text of every log — try the Borg, temporal anomaly, or first contact. Narrow the results with the filters for series, log type, and speaker; sort by stardate or relevance; or hit the random button to pull a single entry out of the archive. Whatever you land on, the URL keeps your search and filters, so any result is shareable.
Stardate lookup
1,095 of the entries name a stardate. Type one like 41153.7 — or just its opening digits, like 4115 — straight into the search box, and the console filters to the logs whose stardate starts with what you typed, so you can find a log by when it was recorded rather than what it said. Across the classic era the numbers climb from the original series into the fifty-thousands by the later films, and never behaved much like a real calendar in between.
Captain’s log vs personal log
A captain’s log is the official mission record — the “Captain’s log, stardate…” narration that opens so many episodes. A personal log is the private, reflective kind, and other officers keep their own: first officers, chief medical officers, and the odd security or engineering log. The archive keeps all of them, so you can filter to just the official captain’s logs or read across every kind of log a crew recorded.
