The analysis is based on the reports submitted on child protection submitted to the General Welfare Board by the Social Assistance Secretary and the scientific and administrative directors of these institutions during the years 1938, 1939, 1944, and 1946. The objective of the paper is to analyze, describe, and contextualize the operation and daily life of these institutions.
