Underrepresented Nurses
The Underrepresented Nurses Collection is a continuing endeavor to seek out, preserve, and publicize materials related to nurses historically underrepresented in nursing and nursing history: nurses of color; men nurses; and LGBTQ+ nurses. It is also a developing collection focused on nursing and health care in marginalized communities and communities of color.
The first series, the Phoebe A. Pollitt Research Papers, comprises newspaper articles, hospital reports, and interviews assembled by Professor Phoebe A. Pollitt as she examined the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth-century history of segregated health care facilities in North Carolina. Also included are digital transfers of interviews with contemporary public health nurses practicing in North Carolina.
The Nancy Milio Collection and Doris Glick Collection are also included in this section, as they pertain to historically marginalized communities.
