Approved typed minutes of the Public Assistance Committee

Relief order books were kept by the Clerk of the York Poor Law Union and later the Public Assistance Committee.

The books record orders for out-relief granted by the York Guardians/Public Assistance Committee in response to applications put forward by the Relieving Officer (see PLU/3/1 Application and Report books).

Details entered into the books include: name of applicant seeking relief, name of parish/relief district; quantity and description of relief; and how many weeks relief was granted.

Note that books were dated in quarterly periods. For example Mar 1910-Sep 1910 = quarter ending in March to quarter ending in September and would therefore cover the months Jan-Sep 1910.

Children boarded-out are also recorded for a short time in the early twentieth century. In some instances entries may indicate if an individual was sent to an institution (for example, the workhouse or the asylum).

From 1837 to 1848 records were divided into quarterly periods (March, June, September and December); from 1849 to 1948 they were divided into half-yearly periods. Please note that not all records survive.
