19世纪的儿童福利机构很少被理解为一个家，我们几乎不知道非自愿性在儿童囚犯的日常生活中所扮演的角色，以及它如何塑造囚犯的家的感觉。本文以成立于1881年的儿童慈善机构流浪儿协会为例，探讨了贫困儿童机构中的家庭观念和“家庭”观念。本文以物质文化的方法为基础，强调制度权威实践与家庭生活之间的关系，并更好地理解物质世界作为制度内控制力量的作用。文章质疑普遍存在的结论，即儿童福利机构很少关心提供一个家庭环境的囚犯，并提供了一个不同的链的福利提供的儿童，具有特定的文化和意识形态的意义，超越机构纪律和改革方面的新的理解。
Nineteenth-century children's welfare institutions have rarely been understood as functioning as a home we know little about the role that domesticity played in the everyday lives of child inmates and how it could shape inmates' sense of being at home. This essay uses The Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable children's institution, founded in 1881, as a case study to examine how ideas of home and 'homeliness' featured in institutions for poor children. The essay builds on material culture approaches to highlight the relationship between institutional authority practices in relation to home life, and to better understand the role of the material world as a controlling force within the institution. The article challenges the pervasiveness of conclusions that children's welfare institutions were little concerned with providing a homely environment for inmates, and offers new understandings of a different strand of welfare provision for children that held particular cultural and ideological meaning, beyond aspects of institutional discipline and reform.
