The Women's Career Statement comprises one volume recording biographical information for each woman admitted to the Salvation Army's Burwood Maternity Home between 1896 and 1905. The information about women includes: name, where born, age, marital status, parents' names and addresses, religion, whether the woman had been in prison, hospital or any other homes, employment history, literacy, from where and by whom sent to the Home, and when the baby was due. The information about the baby includes name, date and place of birth, name and address of father, how the child was supported, and, in cases where the baby was adopted, the name and address of the adopting parents. This volume is indexed alphabetically by surname at the front of the volume. According to Connecting Kin, this Home may earlier have been at Newtown and its records are related to those of Newtown Maternity and Rescue Home.
