This database includes a list of names of patients who were admitted to Eastern State Hospital before 1920 and still have medical records. These records are currently available at the archives. If you are interested in obtaining the records of a family member or ancestor, please check this list to verify that their name is listed. You can contact us for instructions on how to obtain these records from the hospital.
We are actively updating this database so please check here for updates. Surnames starting with “A” through “Z” will be added as they become available.
We now have a search feature located on the upper left portion of the table below. You can enter a patient name, number, county, etc. to narrow your results. Please note that the search feature on this page is for this dataset only. To search other information, please click on the appropriate link for the hospital/facility.
