Portée et contenu
Series consists of 13 volumes of minute books of the Ladies Benevolent Society. The minutes detail the transactions of Society business as well as the administration of the Aged Women’s Home, with some references to the Hamilton Orphan Asylum as well. Some of the minute books contain the names of the residents of the Aged Women’s Home and specific volumes detail the distribution of relief to individuals and families in various wards, which was provided by the Society over and above the operation of the residence. Some of the minute books are divided into two parts, the first being the minutes of the Ladies’ Benevolent Society or the Aged Women’s Home and then the volume is flipped upside down and the rest of the minute book details the distribution of relief given out to individuals and families in the community. These volumes record the ward number, the type of relief given such as food, wood, clothing, money, etc., as well as any general remarks.
