The Personal Files of Children who Lived at the Home contain the correspondence, school results, and photographs of children living in the Northern Tasmanian Home for Boys, later known as Glenara. The photographs mainly belong to the 1970s and 1980s. Child, Youth and Family Services were told that staff at the home destroyed earlier files.
