Series I., Subseries H. General Files and Ledgers, 1828-1997.

Scope and content:

Contains subject and miscellanous files found throughout the Western State Hosptial collection. The files consist of a variety of material including limited correspondence, memos, working papers, and other related documents pertaining to a particular subject or person. The files were most likely maintained by the hospital superintendent or his office staff, but in some cases the origin is unknown. Many files contain only one document, while other subjects fill several folders. The title of "General Files" was given in order to encompass all of the subject files, as well as lone and/or miscellaenous documents found in the collection. These files are part of accessions 31030, 31353, 31704, and 41404.

Arrangement:

The files are separated by the century in which they were created, and then alphabetically within.
