Background

Scope and content:

The Small Collections consist of varied small manuscript donations to the Bjoring Center, each one too limited in quantity to warrant cataloguing individually. These donations have been ordered in eight discrete series, by subject, as follows: 1) Professional Organizations, Standards, and Licensing, 2) Nursing Procedures and Manuals, 3) Nursing Education, Schools, and Hospitals, 4) Nursing Student Notes, Essays, and Examinations, 5) Specialty Nursing, 6) Military Nursing, 7) Persons, and 8) History of Nursing.

Arrangement:

Small Collections materials are organized first into one of the eight Subject Series as indicated, then by folder according to item type and donor. These sub-collections are arranged sequentially in order of accession to the archives. The materials are consequently not in chronological order.
