In this paper, four entropy-like invariants for nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems given by a sequence of continuous selfmaps of a compact metric space are introduced and studied. The main results are: (1) these entropies are all invariant with respect to equiconjugacy. (2) the relations between these entropies are established. (3) for positively expansive nonautonomous systems, two types of pointwise preimage entropies are equal, and the preimage branch entropy and the preimage relation entropy are equal too. (4) two classes of nonautonomous systems: (a), a sequence of small C1-perturbations of an expanding map on a closed Riemmanian manifold, and (b). a sequence of equicontinuous maps defined on a finite graph, have zero preimage branch entropy.
