Index to Hospital Reports Published

The Connecticut State Library has published the Index to Hospital Reports. Reports from many different psychiatric hospitals in the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and South Africa, from 1830 to 1896, are bound together in annual Hospital Reports volumes. To assist in locating specific reports, the Connecticut State Library compiled this three-part index.

For more information about the set and the index, see http://www.cslib.org/hospitalreptsindex.htm.
