    Notes

    Early records are not available, as they were burned with patients at their cremations. Records held begin from 1955, as they were started then by Rev Davidson. Photographs are also available from 1970 of various events and activities and also of old buildings and patients both pre and post deformities. There are more than 1 000 photographs but no cataloguing has been done. There are also a number of publications available, which are linked to the hospital. These include the Centenary Souvenir of activities at the hospital and the publication Partners, for paramedical workers assisting with leprosy work.
