These Admission Registers relate to the Rockhampton Orphanage, later the Rockhampton Receiving Depot. These registers of admission include the following details for each child: name and age of child, date admitted, date of birth, place of birth, religion, parent’s name and occupation (if known), whether the parents are living or dead and a brief history of the child’s background. Details of hiring or boarding out of children are also recorded.
Two registers in this series are open access and have been digitised by QSA. To access these registers click the ‘View Digital Copy’ link on the QSA item page. The remainding register is restricted. Please contact QSA for access to this register.
