The series consists of a variety of record books created at Woodlands School (later known simply as Woodlands) between 1908 and 1974, with the majority of the records dating from the late 1930s to the 1950s. The records relate to both staff and residents, although the majority of the records pertain to residents. Staff records include “position vacant” cards, lists of staff and the dates they joined and left Woodlands, and ledgers detailing absences and sick time for both male and female staff members. The staff lists are not comprehensive and frequently appear to provide a snapshot in time.

Records relating to patients provide evidence of the day-to-day functioning of the institution, including one- or two-sentence long hourly reports by nursing staff. Researchers should note that while specific individuals are named in the records, the records do not include case files. Some “propensity” ledgers provide alphabetical listings of patients, their admission dates and patient number, a brief one- or two-word description of why they were admitted, information about clothing, religion, and whether they left Woodlands. However, these registers do not cover the entire period of time that Woodlands operated and should not be seen as admissions registers.

The series includes a set of record books with daily shift reports that list disturbances, illnesses, numbers of residents employed in certain tasks, outings to movies and concerts, and any other noteworthy occurrences. The series contains ledgers relating to residents’ health, and other books related to their day-to-day lives. Records related to health care include those detailing medicine dosages, notes on blood pressure, and ‘doctors’ orders’ books. Records relating to daily life include notes on clothing and shoes sent to be cleaned, repaired, or discarded, numbers of residents sent to the ‘airing court’ for recreation, and records relating to the sewing and knitting done by residents. In some cases, ledgers provide assessments of the knitting skill of residents, and it appears that patients did sewing for both themselves and for staff. Records relating to shoes and clothing appear to be carbon copies of receipts issued when items were sent for repair or cleaning, and many are difficult to read. The series also includes general ward counts and statistics as well as a ward inventory listing everything from brooms to medical equipment. Some ledgers provide information on residents who were transferred to or from institutions at Essondale, Tranquille, and Colquitz.

There appear to have been three staff shifts in Woodlands, and records are often annotated with the time of the shift. Shifts ran from 7 am to 3 pm, 3 pm to 11 pm, and 11 pm to 7 am. It is common to see annotations such as 3-11 next to a report.

Many of the ledgers were not labelled and do not have original titles on them. Titles in square brackets were supplied by the Archivist on the basis of the file list that accompanied the records when they were transferred to Archives custody. Where the assigned title does not appear adequate, a further explanatory note has been included. Explanatory notes have also been included in square brackets when the title on the ledger book was vague or potentially misleading.

Within the ledgers, the bulk of the records are organized chronologically. Some books contain indexes or are arranged alphabetically by surname, although due to the nature of the records it is more common to see chronological progressions.

The published news articles appear to have been collected by Branch employees in attempts to monitor popular coverage of issues surrounding polygamy and the community at Bountiful. Some of the records also relate to potential legal action started by former members of the group.

The records provide evidence of the provincial government’s programs and services for women.. The records were created or received between 1996 and 2005. It is unclear whether the records were created by a branch of the Women’s, Senior’s, and Community Services division, or by the division itself. Other, slightly later, records pertaining to women’s issues were created by the Women’s and Seniors’ Policy branch and this branch is listed in the current ORCS (as of 2016) as the office of primary responsibility.

The series consists of records relating to the initiatives and programs regarding violence against women and children implemented by the federal government, the provincial government of British Columbia, and non-government organizations in British Columbia between 1988-1993.

The records focus primarily on family violence, and many of the files consist of federal initiatives to combat violence, including research and statistics on these issues. Many of the records also address shelters and transition housing, and include correspondence with non-government organizations that provide these services. Some records belong to the Stopping the Violence Initiative (ORCS 31000), and it is possible that other files were considered research and resource files in support of this initiative. Stopping the Violence Initiative consists of program funding for the provision of transition and safe houses, outreach, multicultural services, and counselling for women who experience violence and for children who witnessed abuse.

Many of the records were created or maintained by the Ministry of Social Services. In September 1993, the functions and responsibilities of the Ministry of Social Services regarding child care programs and the operation and maintenance of emergency shelters and transition homes were transferred to the Ministry of Women’s Equality (OIC 1220-1993).

The records correspond to ORCS 31000-20: Stopping the Violence (STV) Funding – issues files. Although many of the records do correspond to this ORCS, it appears there are additional records in this series that have not been classified accordingly or should be considered resources in support of STV.
