These records are held by Queensland State Archives.
This series contains cards recording details of children admitted to the Diamantina Orphanage and Diamantina Receiving Depot and Infants Home. Information recorded on the cards includes child’s name, date of birth, birthplace, religion, date of admission, date of discharge and sometimes place or person the child was discharged to. The reverse of the cards recorded names of people the child was boarded out to or employed by, dates they left and returned to the orphanage, and other remarks. Details about children from the same family admitted to the orphanage were all recorded on the one card.
This series is open access, and can be viewed by any member of the public. For access to these records please contact Queensland State Archives.
