Ramoth was run in close association with The Horseshoe in Carlton, where women were first taken.
Ramoth was set up by the Mission as a sanitarium for women in the final stages of recovery from 'V.D.'. At Ramoth, the 'girls' could 'not only be prevented from contaminating secretly, but nursed back to lives of decency and respect'.
In 1927, the Mission took over Ramoth to be used as a Toddlers' Home. Women at Ramoth were transferred to Fairhaven in Fairfield.
In 1997 the Mission of St James and St John became part of Anglicare Victoria. At this time, records of the Mission were transferred to Anglicare Victoria. These included records of the various orphanages, homes and other residences run by the Mission. The custodian of these records is Anglicare Victoria.

The Find & Connect Support Service can help people who lived in orphanages and children's institutions look for their records.
