Department of Institutions & Agencies

In 1919, the newly created Department of Institutions and Agencies was charged with general oversight of the state's various programs relating to psychiatric care, correctional institutions, and guardianship of children. In 1977, it was divided into the Department of Human Services (to administer state hospitals and services for children, etc.) and the Department of Corrections (to administer state prisons and reformatories). Since most state institutions pre-date this administrative change, the Archives’ holdings for all three departments and related agencies are included together.
