NRS-27 | Indexes to ward registers

These volumes entitled “Index to Histories of Aborigines Children”, index the series of Ward Registers (NRS 26). The volumes are arranged alphabetically in two columns, girls and boys, and record name and relevant entry in the Ward registers. The second volume appears to be a rough copy of the first volume.The first volume also contains a list of boys resident at the Aboriginal Boys' Training Home, Kinchela, as at 31 January 1936. The list was requested by the Board for Protection of Aborigines and gives surname, first name, age, and where the individual was transferred from. There is also a typescript list giving the name, date admitted, age, and character of boys in the Kinchela Training Home as at 2 July 1934. There is a typescript list for recording body measurements for clothing purposes of children at Bomaderry. This list gives the name, age, and caste and has columns for body measurements but these columns are unused.Inside the cover of the first volume is a memorandum card containing personal details relating to a resident of Toomelah Aboriginal Station. The records in this series were transferred to State Archives by the Aborigines Services Branch of the Department of Youth and Community Services in 1977.
