Kathy Hi, Motts. Thank you for your post in answer to my question about patient diaries at Central Islip--and thanks for the tip on where I might find ancient patient records, which I will pursue. Thanks again also for your remarkable work, evocative and resonant. I dream of your images. Kathy

Kathy I have recently learned my grandmother--about whom I have been able to learn very little--was consigned to Central Islip at the time of the 1930 census. I am fascinated by your all your photos and very interested in the activities roster as a possible key to her experience. You mention finding patient diaries. Did you keep any of these by any chance? Do you know anything about what became of patient records? Would much appreciate any further information albout patients' experience. Thanks

	Kathy This picture reminds me of working in some very old faciltiies (hospitals and prisons) where we would joke that the institution was merely being held together by all the layers of paint on the walls!
