There are many items in the MSOE Archives that have been around for over 100 years, but a majority of our oldest content is actually related to nursing. This is because the MSOE Archives houses the records and historical items from the Milwaukee County General Hospital School of Nursing which was established in 1888. The school graduated its first class in 1889 and continued to educate nurses in the Milwaukee area until it closed in 1997.
In 1995 the MSOE School of Nursing opened, taking on the tradition of the Milwaukee County General Hospital School of Nursing. With the merger of the two schools, the MSOE Archives gained an extensive collection of nursing items, including records from the school, photographs, student nursing uniforms, and other medical equipment.
This month we are sharing some of the archival items from the Milwaukee County General Hospital School of Nursing and the MSOE School of Nursing collections.
