EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic polling paper dates back to 1908 and was issued to electors in the Bushey area of Hertfordshire, England, for the purpose of choosing applicants to be admitted to the Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum. The Asylum, which was established in 1855, provided care and support for children who had been orphaned or left destitute in Scotland. The polling paper is a testament to the democratic process in place for the selection of new residents, allowing community members to have a voice in the welfare and education of the children. The Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum, located in Bushey, offered a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The institution was renowned for its commitment to providing high-quality care and education, with a focus on preparing children for successful futures. The polling paper reflects the importance of community involvement in the care and upbringing of these children, ensuring that they received the best possible opportunities for growth and development. The image of the polling paper offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the social and political history of the time. It also highlights the significant role that community-led initiatives played in the care and welfare of children, particularly those who were orphaned or in need of support. This poignant piece of history serves as a reminder of the importance of community engagement and the impact it can have on the lives of vulnerable children.
