Audio-visual materials, 1898-1997 (bulk 1964-1997).

Audio-visual materials documenting the hospital's patients and staff. Consisting of videocassettes, photographs, and slides, the materials detail the institution's history; staff activities and recognition; buildings and facilities; volunteer activities and visitors, particularly groups from the Stillwater High School and Carleton College; and the lives and activities of the patients. The latter include both portraits, beginning with admission photographs from the late 1890s and early 1900s and going into candids and snapshots taken in the 1990s, and coverage of patients involved in such activities as therapy; the Work Activity Center and CI Wood Works, a rehabilitation day program; religious services; day camp; parties and holiday celebrations; plays and presentations; outdoor activities; Special Olympics; sports; field trips; transition from hospital to group home living; and Friend and Family Day. Two substantial sets cover the activities of the Faribault State Hospital Boy Scout Troop #330 and patient outings to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Wilder Forest.
