<P>The Hawthorne Asylum, which operated as a facility in the Portland area
that provided care to the mentally ill. The state contracted with the
asylum to provide services until the opening of the Oregon State Hospital
in Salem in 1883. The listings on this index reflect the entries from that
register.</P>
<P>The original register has been heavily water damaged and is no longer
accessible to the public. However, the information from that volume has
been compiled and transcribed onto a database, which constitutes the
useable copy of that volume. Patient entries may provide the following
information: patients' name; age; sex; occupation; nativity; county; date
of commitment; date of discharge; date of death; and page number in the
original volume.</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just received a Hawthorne Asylum record
from the Oregon State Archives. Todd (nice and helpful) said the

Hawthorn Asylum, where it was and why people went there.</FONT></DIV>
