St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Association records, 1890-2002.

The historical materials of the St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Association include administrative records from the closed School of Nursing (St. Luke's Hospital still maintains official student records and transcripts), photographs, student uniforms, alumnae memorabilia (including the jukebox donated to the Nurses' Residence by the Class of 1958, and newspaper clippings on the history of the school. There are a few scrapbooks from nurses in World War I and other service abroad, and a fair amount of material documenting the history and content of the nursing curriculum at St. Luke's, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. The materials preserved by the Alumnae Association are largely all that remain from the close to nine decades of nursing education at St. Luke's Hospital. There are also records from the Alumnae Association itself, including records of its incorporation, newsletters, photographs, and records of the organization's activities since the closing of the closing of the school. Among these activities are an endowment drive, begun in 2002, to endow the Center for Public Education at the Foundation of the New York State Nurses Association.
