The series is broken out into six subseries: “Treasurer’s Accounts,” Minutes of the Board of Managers,” “Annual Reports,” “Lady Visitors,” “Patient Histories, Doctor’s Case Books,” and “Other Bound Volumes and Books.” Within these subseries, volumes are arranged chronologically.

Of all of the volumes, of greatest interest may be subseries “Patient Histories, Doctor’s Case Books,” dating from 1879 to 1927. Contained in these volumes are a number of charts within which information was recorded such as race, age, address, parent information, housing type, diet, stools, and medicine administered.
