State Archives Collection

Learn how to access the records of patients who spent time in state-run psychiatric facilities and what these records can reveal

This guide provides an overview of the main series of patient records in our collection for Liverpool Asylum for the Infirm and Destitute (1862-1933) and Liverpool State Hospital and Home (1933-1961)

While the State Archives doesn't hold records of patients in private hospitals, it does have records about the hospitals themselves. This webinar looks at records related to the operation of private hospitals in NSW in the 1800s and early 1900s
