VPRS 7446 Alphabetical Lists of Patients in Asylums

Full description

This series consists of 8 volumes entitled "Lists of Patients", each relating to a particular asylum. Each volume records the name of patients admitted to the asylum. The contents of each volume are self-indexing, that is, they are arranged alphabetically by patient name and then chronologically by admission date. Entries record:

patient's name,
nationality,
last known address,
relative's address,
discharge details (including death).

Volumes 1-6 consistently provide much of this information. Volumes 7-8 only list from where transferred and discharged details.

This series can be used to access patient information in the Case Books of these asylums if the date of admission of the patient is unknown to the researcher.
