The Inmates' Register is a single volume (part) which contains biographical information about each woman admitted, including: name; age; where from; marital status; physical and spiritual condition; whether the woman had been in prison or other homes and, if so, for what reason; 'capabilities' (i.e. occupational skills); date and details of discharge (e.g. if sent to employment, whether returned home, etc.); and any remarks. The volume has been indexed retrospectively by staff of the Social Services Department. The volume has been used as the Inmates' Register for several Homes, including Bathurst Maternity and Rescue Home from 5 July 1897 to 28 May 1906, Newtown Rescue Home from 1 June 1891 to 28 May 1906 and Newcastle Rescue Home from 16 July 1897 to 11 June 1906. Each Home is listed in a separate part of the volume.
