Administrative History
A sanitary code was produced by the Public Health Council of the State of New York in 1915 to regulate the practice of midwifery and establish rules regarding licensing procedures. Regulation seven within the sanitary code relates to the bound ledger contained in this series. It states that from 1915 and thereafter, a midwife must be registered with the State if she wishes to practice legally. The register reflects the State's licensing policies by documenting the granting and revocation of individuals' licenses.
