Summary: This digital record contains images that depict selected entries from a volume of case histories of the children who came to the Children’s Aid Society from 1882 to 1891.  Records include background information, if known, about the parents; physical and mental assessments of the child; information about the foster family; and notes from visits by staff social workers.  Records are from the arrival of the child until the child “passed from care,” which could occur if the child was returned to the natural family, was formally adopted, reached sufficient age to leave care, or died.
