Welcome to the online exhibition of the Missouri State Archives' Quest for a Cure: Care and Treatment in Missouri's First State Mental Hospital.

As you peruse the exhibit, please note that you may view a detailed enlargment of any images by simply clicking it. Some images are quite large and may require a bit of time to download, so we ask that you be patient.

Enjoy!
