This volume contains “voluntary and curable” patient casebooks compiled by the Bethlem Royal Hospital during the period 1816-1913. These patients admitted themselves to the hospital under their own free will.
Voluntary and curable patient casebooks, 1816-1913 (Reference: CB): The earlier casebooks include the patient’s name and admission date, as well as a description of their illness and observations on their behaviour. After 1909, the books record additional information, such as the patient’s residence, profession, marital status, number of children, father, spouse, religion, and age. Each casebook contains an alphabetical index of patient names.

We were unable to find any results for your requested terms. Whilst we try our best to extract as much usable and searchable as possible, our primary resource collections have varying levels of available metadata and searchable OCR'd text depending on the nature of the document; please bear this in mind when searching, especially when looking for older resources. We recommend trying the following:
- Try a different combination of terms and queries to try and match your result.
- Use 'themes' or 'subjects' directly in your search query, e.g. "19th century colonial administration Africa" - 'Africa' being the broad subject.
- Use a broader search and use the filters on the left-hand side to refine your results.
