Details

The Visitors’ Book – Boys’ Reformatory, Magill, is a single leather bound volume with the title embossed on the front cover. It was used by the Magill Boys Reformatory to record visits from 1933 to 1968 by government committees, members of the Children’s Welfare and Public Relief Board, community leaders, and local, interstate and overseas dignitaries and officials. The volume provided for the Date, Visitor’s Name, and Remarks. Visitors signed their names against the date and named the organisation that they were representing, or their profession, in the Remarks column. Many comments were also recorded in the Remarks column about visitors’ impressions of the reformatory and its work.
