Custodial History

The National Library of Medicine received these films in 2017 from the library of the Catholic University of America's nursing school, founded in 1932 and recenly renamed the Conway School of Nursing. The school offers bachelor's, master's and Ph.D degres in nursing and related specialties and has been recognized for its program offerings, quality of faculty, and commitment to care of vulnerable populations. The library weeded its collection of instructional and educational films in preparation for renovations and the repurposing of traditional library spaces.
