How to Use the Records

The entries in the register are chronological by date of arrival in the hospital mortuary.

Function / Content

This series consists of a mortuary register from the Tennant Creek Hospital in the Northern Territory. Tennant Creek Hospital provided medical services for the population of Tennant Creek and the Barkly Tablelands area. The register records information about deceased patients in the hospital mortuary and details of death. Entries in the register include the deceased's name, age, ethnic background, and the dates a deceased's body arrived at and was removed from the mortuary. Later entries in the register provide further details including witnesses, location of death ('DOA' meaning deceased at time of arrival and 'DIH' that the death occurred in the hospital), and whether and when a post mortal examination was undertaken and by whom.
