Archival collection at the Irish Centre for Nursing and Midwifery History
At this time the UCD Irish Centre for Nursing & Midwifery History is developing a nursing and midwifery archive. This will incorporate a collection of archival materials, including documentary materials, photographs and other artefacts and when fully operational, this material will be available as a national resource for students and researchers. The archive will include early books and journals, official documents, letters and personal papers. It will also include a photographic collection and a collection of other artefacts, such as nurses' badges, uniforms and technical equipment associated with the clinical work of nurses and midwives. Oral histories will be available and other digitally-prepared resources will be developed.
To donate documentary materials and artefacts to the Centre, please contact Prof Gerard Fealy at +353 (0)1 716 6461 or gerard.fealy@ucd.ie
