Hospital Logs, 1911-1969, and Sterilization Records, 1915-1963, span the widest range of years. Contents of the hospital records are usually evident from the title. Hospital Improvement Project (HIP) records contain day-to-day medical data and treatment decisions documenting the Hospital Improvement Grant for Enrichment Program to Develop Self-Help Skills. This was a federally funded grant to teach residents basic skills such as eating and hygiene. Sterilization books detail information about each patient and the reasons sterilization was recommended.
