The Red Cross Nurse in Action, 1949
Scope and Contents
This deals with the more organized Red Cross again, including many photos of staff members from the later part of the 20th century. Also present are photos of official functions such as fund raisers and annual meetings. This sub-series focuses almost entirely on the people within, having mostly photos and no records of these events.
This small sub-series consists of photographs of nurses of the American Red Cross. There are pictures of nurses both comfortably at home in the US, and also participating in conflicts in other areas of the world. This then leads into the military segment of the collection, mainly photos and news clippings of World War II and Vietnam, often with nurses present.
