Summary:
The series consists of daily registers that record the population and activities of patients at the Syracuse State School
and its predecessors. Starting in 1883, the asylum purchased and remodeled farm buildings at which older students were placed
to learn farming and to produce crops. By 1931 the Syracuse State School had fifteen such "colonies" (eight junior boys' colonies,
three senior boys' colonies, and four girls' colonies) and the work activities noted in these registers reflect that system.
