• Admission Records: An admission register with names and dates and some detail as to reason for admission
• Discharge Records: A register with dates of discharge and some entries have reasons for discharge

  and some events, scrapbooks of Diocesan events including some of St George's Homes events from the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin

The Homes (including the Group Homes) were governed by a Management Committee from 1917 until 1982 - most of the minutes of this committee still exist, as well as Synod Reports and Church Gazette articles. These are all kept in the Diocesan Registry.
