NotesIn this catalogue you may find terminology or language included in historical record titles and descriptions that are today considered offensive or pejorative. These terms have been retained in the catalogue in order to reflect the historical accuracy of the record. All such terms will appear in inverted commas and they are in no way representative of views or opinions of the Isle of Man Government in the 21st Century. The only exception where inverted commas have not been used is for administrative bodies that carried the expression 'Lunatic' in their title, as this was the formal name of the institution itself. We apologise for any offence that our inclusion of these words may cause.
Closed until 1 Jan 2069
Each file will have an individual closure period based on date of the patient's admission and content.
Physical DescriptionBanker boxes organised by surname, with upright original folders containing the patients' medical information. To be repackaged, as the folders contain metal parts, and listed, as the files have different access periods.
