Sydney Benevolent Asylum

A new website details the historical records associated with the Sydney Benevolent Asylum between 1857 and 1900. An index was created from records held at the Mitchell Library in Sydney and has been published on this site. The index contains over 78,000 records and is as far as possible, a listing of all inmates between 1857 and 1900. The website also details how you may be able to obtain more information about an inmate of the Asylum by accessing the original records held at the Mitchell Library.
