Summary:
From the opening of Craig Colony until circa 1905, patient case histories were recorded in volumes in patient consecutive
number order. Individual patient case files replaced the case book format circa 1905. A typical file includes a photograph
of the resident; an admission sheet giving personal and medical data; a detailed personal, family, and medical history, with
emphasis on symptoms and frequency of epileptic attacks; commitment papers (petition to a judge, notice of service, certificates
by two examining physicians as to incompetency of the epileptic, and judge's order for committal); and a personal and family
history questionnaire, filled in by a relative.
