Description
This series contains a register of admissions to the Industrial School at Edwardstown from 1903 to 1908.
Information provided in the registers include: child's name, age, date of birth, date of arrival in South Australia, religion, nationality and last place of residence. Also includes information regarding relatives in Australia, reasons for requiring admission, court of committal and recommendation, as well as admission and discharge dates, and proposed whereabouts.
This register appears to be part of the set maintained on site at the Industrial School. Another set of registers was maintained centrally in the Department or the Central Depot [GRG27/9]. Only two of the site registers have survived and have been archived as GRG27/10 and GRG27/11. Entries in these two sets are partially duplicated, although the admission numbers of individuals may not be the same across all volumes. The information in GRG27/9 is the most comprehensive
1 volume.
