The department can be traced directly back to the Board of Public Charities, which was created in 1869 to inspect all charitable and correctional institutions in the Commonwealth, and the Board's Committee on Lunacy, which was established in 1883 to examine places for the confinement of the insane. In 1921 the Board of Public Charities and the Committee on Lunacy were abolished, and the Department of Public Welfare was created to coordinate and administer welfare programs. In 1923 the name of the Department of Public Welfare was changed to the Department of Welfare. Supervision over penal and correctional institutions was transferred in 1953 from its Bureau of Penal Affairs to the Department of Justice.

In 1937 the Department of Public Assistance was created to administer a centralized relief program. The State Emergency Relief Board, established in 1932 to handle unemployment relief and work relief, was abolished and its powers and duties, along with those of the Welfare Department's Bureau of Assistance, were transferred to the new agency.

Bureau of State General Hospitals

• NOTE: Access to patient-related records from state hospitals is restricted. For inquiries into hospital records received by the Pennsylvania State Archives prior to the implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) on April 14, 2003, the Archives will release genealogical information such as the patient's name, dates of birth and death, dates of hospitalization, marital status, names of parents and children, place of residence, occupation, religion, etc. Clinical or medical data related to the condition, diagnosis or treatment of a patient will be provided only to a deceased patient's "chosen executors, or administrators or other personal representative, [or] by a person otherwise appointed by court order to receive control over the records." The only other exceptions to these criteria are for qualified health care providers and law enforcement officials. These more restrictive criteria also apply to ALL patient information, including genealogical data, in records received by the State Archives after April 14, 2003. Discharged patients may gain access to their own records by sending a release form or a signed written request to the Pennsylvania State Archives. Researchers who would like to access all patient data for sociological or historical studies must submit a request to the Department of Public Welfare describing the research project and how patient information will be used in the study along with an explanation of the project's methods for protecting patient confidentiality.
