Croagh Patrick Orphanage
This Series of records was created by Croagh Patrick Orphanage, Orange (Boys' Home). The Series is made up of one volume containing handwritten completion of Forms to comply with the Child Welfare Act, (Regulations 47A (w) and 47B (g)--Forms 20H, 20I, 20J), covering the years 1970 to 1981. The information includes: Details of Child, Reception, Discharge, Death, Admission to Hospital, not all signed and dated.
Application for access must be made, in writing, to the Archivist, providing personal identification documents to establish the right to access information. Physical access to the records is not permitted due to their fragility and the need to protect the confidentiality of information concerning other persons. Information will be forwarded by mail.
The Notices of Reception, Discharge, Death or Admission to Hospital are managed by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea (ISMAPNG). ISMAPNG formed out of the consolidation of 14 of the 17 congregations of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy in Australia, and from the region of Papua New Guinea. This included the Bathurst Congregation, which ran the Croagh Patrick Orphanage from 1969 until it closed down in 1982.
Sources used to compile this entry: Document received from ISMAPNG Archives in June 2013, 'Information for Find & Connect Website - Records Access Documentation Project, ISMAPNG Archives, Bathurst'. Email from Lachie Douglas (Lanterns) on 3 November 2016.
