The volumes, which are arranged chronologically by admission date and include indexes, record patient’s name, county of residence, date admitted, gender, age, nativity, marital status, occupation, education, religion, medical history and condition (with periodic updates) and date discharged. For some patients there is correspondence from genealogists requesting family history information and the replies from the hospital, clinical charts and legal documents.

Detailed one page medical histories with comments. Similar to case books, but the numbers in these volumes do not correspond to case numbers in the case books.
