Dear Ms. Hunt,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located two series titled Registers of Cases, 1855 - 1963 which is digitized; Case Files of Patients, 1855 - 1950; and Records Pertaining to Investigations in the Records of St. Elizabeths Hospital (Records Group 418) that may contain the records you seek. For access to the non-digitized records, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
