Scope and Content Note

The series consists of ten reports to the State Board of Charities by the Syracuse State Institution for Feeble-Minded Children for fiscal years 1884/85 through 1893/94, and for 1900/01. The reason for the gap is unknown; the volume of pre-printed forms is primarily blank. Perhaps these report forms were working copies, or an incomplete set transcribed from other sources.

Each two-page report form provides "schedule" and "compensation" data in seven broad categories: officers of the institution; capacity of buildings; valuation of real estate and personal property; receipts and expenses; outstanding indebtedness; assets; and population movement (census).
