Museums of History NSW (State Archives) holds a large collection of records relating to patients admitted to Gladesville Mental Hospital. Many of the records contain information about patients at Gladesville, and may include information about children and young people who were admitted to the hospital. The records include admission and discharge registers, case files, photographs, daily report books, registers of patients next-of-kin and friends, letters from patients, letters about patients, medical records, post-mortem registers, and administrative records.
Access to records in this series is restricted for 110 years in order to protect personal privacy. People mentioned in these records have a right to access information about themselves. Records over 110 years old are open and may be accessed by any member of the public. To request access to restricted records please contact Macquarie Health Information Service for records of patients admitted after 1962, or the Ministry of Health for records of people admitted before 1962.
