Ward Inventories, 1886-1919.

Scope and content:

Contains a distinct set of inventories of clothing and linens used by patients on the hospital wards. These ledgers were separated from those above because of their neat chronology and obvious connection to each other. The ward inventories contain information on supplies drawn, returned, on hand, and items destroyed, which is then tabulated on a monthly basis. For additional information on clothing and linen supplies, please reference the General Supply Inventories category above.

Arrangement:

Arranged according to patient sex, and then by ward, and then chronologically within.
