Description

The volumes in this series provide an index to the Registers of Admissions to the Magill Boys Reformatory (1877 - 1880 and 1891 - 1967) and the McNally Training Centre (1967 - 1975).

The volumes are index-tabbed alphabetically. Loose pages were adhesive taped into the first volume, where the space for names beginning with the letter M (for example) was exhausted. The information in the volumes is limited to the surname of children, followed by the their initials (in the volume dated 1877 - 1967) or first names (in the volume dated 1968 - 1975). An admission number for each boy is written next to his name. In the first volume the number 33 - 77 (or 33/77), for example, meant that the child was the 33rd inmate taken in the year 1877. In the second volume the number 33 - 68 referred to the 33rd inmate taken in the year 1968.
