Westland Hospital Register of Patients 1884-1908
Archives New Zealand have digitized these registers, now available on Archway. The registers are in two sections. The first is an index with patients sorted by the first letter of their surname and their entry number, although determining which year the entry number refers to can be difficult. The patient entries provide name, age, native of, long how in New Zealand, and malady for which they were admitted. Other information may also be provided, such as maiden name.
