Comprises records relating to the admission, discharge and maintenance of inmates of the York Workhouse, which was later known at the City Institution and then The Grange). Relief granted within the workhouse was termed 'indoor relief' as opposed to 'outdoor relief' which was granted to the poor in their own homes (i.e.outside the Workhouse).
