Scope & content

The collection contains photographs, primarily of nurses and nursing students and their graduation, likely at Rhode Island Hospital. The collection also includes family members of the unidentified woman who these images once belonged, as well as beach scenes, and Rhode Island Hospital’s out patient department, tennis court, and pond. Other photographs likely include the exterior of Crawford Allen Memorial Hospital (where the woman who originally owned these photographs worked) and patients there. People identified in the photographs include Marion Chandler, Tommy Simpson, Mildred Chandler, Myrta Schurman, Catherine Morissey, Agnes Lacey, Mary Finnigan, Clarence Nelson, Peg Harrington, and Alena Dunbar.
