Title
Female Case Books
Description
New series of Case Books created after the merging of Crichton Royal Institution and Southern Counties Asylum into the First and Second Houses of Crichton Royal Institution in November 1884. Case notes of those female patients still resident at this time were transferred into the first two volumes of Female Case Books.
Case Books comprise printed forms containing details of patient admission, clinical and family history, and mental and physical condition followed by dated case note entries.
An additional Female Case Book covering 1904-1908, DGH1/5/21/4/16, relates to patients transferred and admitted to the Female Hospital when it was opened in 1904. This volume is listed after volumes 1-15, DGH1/5/21/4/1-15.
Volumes contain case notes for both private and pauper patients, however four volumes covering 1890-1913, DGH1/5/21/4/17-20, contain only private patients and are assumed to be the Case Books of the First House/Crichton Hall for that period. These four volumes are listed after Female Hospital Case Book, DGH1/5/21/4/16 and followed by volumes 1914-1937, DGH1/5/21/4/21-49.
