Abstract:

Photographs by an unidentified nurse taken in California during the first decade of the 20th century. Includes snapshot portraits of individual nurses and groups at various locations in California, including Pasadena Hospital Training School for Nurses (depicting graduating classes of 1905 and 1907), Southern Pacific Emergency Hospital in San Francisco (taken in 1910) and the Oakland Emergency Hospital (1910). Many views also depict nurses during their off-duty leisure time activities (hiking, beach-going, aviation, etc.). Includes several views taken on Catalina Island, and street scenes of a residential Pasadena neighborhood, including the Davis home on Lake Avenue. Also depicts some doctors.
