How to use the Records
This series consists of the Sick and Special Leave Register for the Mental Defectives Branch of the Department of Mental Hygiene. Agencies included in this register are Travancore Special School, Pleasant Creek Special School at Stawell and the Janefield Colony. This volume was once part of a larger series of records but no other volumes have been recovered to date.
The contents in the volume are arranged chronologically by year and then by the name of the institution. Within each hospital entry staff requesting leave are allocated a sequential single number. The numbers start again for each hospital and for each year. An index by name is at the front of the volume. This indicates:
- the institution,
- the year leave was taken and
- the sequential number.
To access entries in the register the researcher should find the required year (indicated at the top of the folios) the hospital name and then the sequential number of the staff member.
Details recorded are:
- name,
- classification,
- date of leave,
- number of days,
- whether full or half pay.
There is some correspondence i.e. regulations covering Leave of Absence, placed at the front of the volume.
