Have you tried the
Item History Log plugin? This plugin was created by UCSC Library and improved by Daniel Berthereau. It keeps track of actions such as creating, importing, editing, or deleting items, and can display logs of these actions based on user, date, action type, etc. If you think this plugin might suit your needs, give it a try and definitely let me know if you run into any problems with it. Feedback in encouraged! We even have a user survey (linked below) if you want to weigh in on the future of the plugin.
