This collection comprises Volumes 28-38 of the Annual Report from the Southwestern State Hospital in Marion, Virginia. These reports provide a detailed look into the operations, patient care, and administrative functions of a key psychiatric institution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Offering invaluable insights into the history of mental health treatment and institutional management, these volumes are a vital resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of psychiatric care in the United States.
The reports document evolving approaches to mental health, patient demographics, and the challenges faced by the hospital during this period. They serve as a primary source for understanding the development of mental health practices and the social context in which these institutions operated.
