Iandra Methodist Rural Centre
These volumes (c.1960s) contain copies of letters sent from Iandra, Greenthorpe to Methodist circuits (similar to parishes) regarding children from Iandra who were sponsored by families under an 'adopt a resident' scheme. These children may have been hosted by families on weekends or for school holidays. The letters name the children and link them with the families who cared for them.
Quantity: 6 volumes
