This is a small collection of items which includes Linton's nursing diploma, a temporary permit to practice from the Graduate Nurses Examining Board of Virginia, a certificate from the Virginia Nurses Board of Examiners, a photograph of her nursing class, and another in her uniform, all from 1922. Also included is a certificate from the Texas Nurses Board of Examiners, 1926 and an article about Linton receiving the Community Betterment Award from the Norfolk Junior Woman's Club in 1978 for her volunteer work at Norfolk General Hospital. This is a significant collection as it contains items related to the 1922 class of the Virginia City Hospital Training School for Nurses, the last class to graduate from the school.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
