The urban institutions of childcare in Vilnius at the beginning of the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: This article explores institutional forms of childcare lead by the Vilnius local government at the beginning of the 20th century. The authors describe the development of urban social institutions. Three areas of child and youth care are discussed - education, healthcare and legal guardianship. Of particular importance were the institutions run by the Kuratorium Miejskie nad Biednymi (Civic Authority of the Poor) - particularly, the orphanages, the "Milk drop" stations and the residence hall for the boys. In the research undertaken in the Polish and Lithuanian archives and libraries, sources in Polish, Lithuanian, Byelorussian and Russian were studied.
