These records are part of Benevolent Society of New South Wales Collection, 1813-1996 (1813 - 1996).
Registers Of Admissions And Discharges are printed volumes that provide a daily register of the admission and discharge of residents. The registers record the name, age, ship and year of arrival in New South Wales of the child. They also record their general medical condition, trade or occupation, religion, referee for admission and how they were discharged (e.g. with permission, to another institution, to family, absconded, expelled, deceased). From 1887 onward, the register includes remarks (e.g. reason for admission and marital status). The series is incomplete.
These records are restricted and written permission from the Benevolent Society must be obtained. At the time of application proof of ID and/or proof of relationship to the person in the records must be provided.
