While you are playing the game (or just load up your last save) you can find it as the last page of the ledger. Outside of the game, just open your save file and the history log is at the end.
That's your problem then. The history log wasn't saved or displayed in the logbook in EU I. There is the log at the bottom of the game screen, but you'll have to make all your notes before exiting.
