Scope and Contents
This is a large subseries, containing photographs in multiple categories. Photos have been arranged by topic, then ordered chronologically, if possible, within each topic. The largest set of photographs consists of composites, group photos, and other graduation-related images. There is also substantial documentation for student training (including images with patients), student life, and Blodgett buildings. NOTE: Nursing action shots containing patients may have limited or restricted access, due to issues of the patient’s privacy.
The following are included: capping ceremonies (1950-1969); graduations (1952-1987); class composites (1904-1986); class group photos (1888-1925); individual student portraits; school administration and staff; nursing students with patients; hospital and school of nursing buildings; uniforms and pins; alumnae; affiliations; student training and educational activities (ca. 1915 onward); student life / Nurses' Lodge; and school events.
