This subseries contains the records the Hospital maintained on patients from 1894 to 1944. Three types of accounts were kept: statistical registers, patient accounts, and surgical and consultation records. The statistical registers recorded the personal information of the patients. It includes a Register for Patients, covering the dates 1894 to 1920, which records the religion, name, age, place of residence, date of admission and release, number of days in the hospital, diagnoses, results of treatment and remarks. Also, there are statistical registers which recorded the patient’s name, age, sex, marital status, religion, place of birth, occupation, place of residence, name of parents and/or spouse, and the date admitted. The archives has the registers dating from 1895-1901 and 1905-1922. Finally, there is a Daily Record of the Operations of the Fanny Allen, Hotel Dieu Hospital which details the number of male and female patients in the morning and evening, the number of patients admitted, discharged during the day and as the number of patients that died.  This is only a partial register, covering the periods between May to October 1895 and July 1939 to April 1943. Patient Accounts include admitting and financial registers and billing information. The registers detail the patient’s name, date admitted and discharged, amounts owed and amount and method of payment and often include their place of residence, doctor’s name, and treatment given. The archives holds the records from the years 1894-1941 and records on bills collected from 1937 to 1944. The last group of records, the surgical or consultation registers, the details of diagnoses and treatments are given for the years 1894 to 1910. In these registers, the name, age, date of admission, diagnosis, operations and other treatments given, outcome, and the name of the doctor performing the treatment are listed. Also included in some entries are the marital status, religion, occupation, nationality, place of residence, and the medical history of the individual and their family. A separate register detailing eye, ear, and throat diseases was maintained between 1897 and 1919.
