Mental Asylum records
Research Guide to mental asylum records at Queensland State Archives.
Queensland State Archives holds records for mental health patients from 1860 onwards.
Prior to separation from New South Wales in 1859, there were no facilities for psychiatric treatment in the Moreton Bay region. Persons with mental health issues or mentally disturbed persons were sent to Brisbane Gaol or possibly to an asylum in Sydney. Many of the mental asylum records at Queensland State Archives were created by the Public Trustee (formerly the Public Curator) and Queensland Health (and its predecessor agencies).
