Institution Files, Queensland Government-run Institutions is a collection of records. Some institutions also kept individual client files on children who were placed there. The information on these files includes details of placement of the child in the institution and when they left, as well as the reason for placement. In some cases detailed information about the child and his/her family is on the file. This can include information about health and family background, as well as educational reports and correspondence. Copies of many documents on the institution file are often included on the Family or Individual file.
