Welcome to the Archives!

The Bellevue Alumnae Center for Nursing History has an exciting collection of nursing memorabilia from New York State and beyond. Would you like to learn more about individual nurse leaders in their own words? How about schools of nursing? Or view a collection of infant feeders from around the world? All this and more is available through the Archives.

The Veronica M. Driscoll Center for Nursing has a dedicated storage area where papers, photos, letters, uniforms, and other memorabilia are stored. The Foundation is very proud of the many military nursing memorabilia items in the collection.
