Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

The "Statistical Record" was begun in 1902, apparently when the Board of Control established it as the uniform registration record for all state institutions, and was maintained until 1923. The most detailed of records in this series, it contains, for each inmate, personal description, family data, and information relating to the circumstances of admission, residence, and discharge.
