The Uniting Church Archives Children's Homes Database, Western Australia is an access database that holds information about children who were in Methodist, Presbyterian or Uniting Church Children's Homes between 1922 and the 1980s. The information in the database was collated from the Uniting Church restricted collection in the Battye Library's Private Archives. The database does not have a complete 'set' of information for each child, and it may not identify all children who were in the Homes.
