      These records are those created by The Children's Society's children's homes and by the local management of the Homes (called variously Home, Local and House Committees). In addition to establishing Homes, the organisation also took over the management of existing Homes and so some of the records predate the founding of The Children's Society.The survival of records is variable. Often no records survive for Homes which were open a comparatively short space of time or which closed before the 1970s. Record series which are found amongst this material include:House Committee Minute books and papers; Admissions and Discharge Registers; Visitors' books; Dietary Diaries; Plans and photographs; Gift Books and Pound Day books; Annual Reports.
