Using this record
These volumes contain case histories of female patients admitted to Beechworth
Asylum
between 1878 and 1912. Case histories were recorded chronologically by
date of admission of the patient. Volumes 2 and 4 begin with alphabetical
list of patients' names for finding the page number of their case history.
For volumes 1-3, there is generally a two page spread for each patient's
case history, with the patient's name at the top of the left-hand page,
and the date of admittance at the top of the right-hand page. Volume 4
generally has 4 pages set aside for each patient (sometimes with an accompanying
photograph of the patient).
