This collection contains a wide variety of documents related to Blodgett School of Nursing (UBA Training School for Nurses, Marion Louise Withey Training School for Nurses, BMH School of Nursing, BMMC School of Nursing).

Materials cover the full century of the school's existence, from 1886 to 1987. While recent materials are more complete, there is also a considerable amount of documentation from the earliest decades of the school's existence. One significant series in this collection is that of photographs, which document graduation, student life, education and training, and historic buildings on the Blodgett Hospital and School of Nursing campuses. Also included are oversized composites of Blodgett graduates. Other substantial aspects of this collection are curriculum planning materials, such as course outlines; publications, including the Alumnae Journal and school bulletins; and numerous clippings, scrapbooks, programs and other historic materials. Smaller series, such as slides, ephemera, realia and the like balance out the collection.

While the vast majority of this collection deals with the school of nursing, a small number of documents are included that relate to Blodgett Hospital itself. Hospital records consist primarily of annual reports and some photographs. In addition, a few materials for ancillary organizations are included with this collection. The addition of relevant materials from other collections has expanded the Blodgett School of Nursing and Hospital Records collection, making it a useful source of information about the training of nurses over a century.
