Description of this SeriesDescription of this Series
  • How to use the Records
    The index is arranged in alpha-numeric order by donor code. The names of donors are listed in a table in columns and rows. The columns have letters of the aphabet at the top, A, B, C, etc., and the rows are numbered. For example, the name of sperm donor Citizen, John was in the column headed 'C' and in row 5 on the table.

  • Function / Content
    When the insemination program commenced at Prince Henry's, men who donated sperm prior to 1998 were guaranteed anonymity if they wanted it. Their files were maintained in alpha-numerical order.

    In the patient records (female) the relevant donor was recorded as alpha-numeric code. (See VPRS 14965 Infertility Treatment Patient Records.)

    This index can be used to establish the names of men whose background details are described in VPRS 15343 Sperm Donor Files, Non-Identifying Information where they are identified only by an alpha-numeric code.

    The names of donors in VPRS 14966 Sperm Donor Files, Alphabetical Order by Surname also appear in this index (and so have an alphanumeric code).

    Note re Date Range:
    At time of transfer to PROV in 2006 it was understood that this particular index was created by 1990, however it records the codes of donors from 1976 to 1997.

  • Recordkeeping System
    It is not known when the index was commenced. However, there is a remark on the list that the information in the list was updated in July 1997.
