Available Oral Histories

The Foundation's Center for Nursing History was established in 1988 to ensure that the magnificent history of the nursing profession in New York State is preserved and understood. In 2000, the Center was renamed the "Bellevue Alumnae Center for Nursing History" in recognition of the Bellevue Alumnae Association's completion of a one million dollar endowment drive for the Center for Nursing History. As a component of this discipline history center, the archives program preserves and makes available for public use archival records and manuscript collections which document nursing in New York State.
