St George's Nursing Collection

  • 406 NU
  • Collection
  • c.1830-2015

Collection charting the development of nursing education at St George's and related institutions from the 19th century to the present day.

The collection includes:

  • Student registers, training and examination records, prospectuses and syllabuses
  • Administrative records, including committee minutes, reports, rules and regulations
  • Publications and printed material including books, newsletters and journals
  • Papers, photographs and artefacts from St George’s Nurses’ League
  • Personal papers, memoirs and memorabilia from individual nurses, including papers of matron Dame Muriel Powell (c.1910s-­1970s)
  • Photographs, including student photographs, group photographs and personal photo albums
  • Artefacts and objects, including items of nurses' uniform, badges, medals, and medical instruments
  • ‘Nurses’ Voices’ oral history project: interviews with over 100 former St George’s nurses and midwives (and related documentation), recorded 2003-2008

From in-­job training at the hospital, nursing education was gradually formalised during the latter half of the 19th century. From 1882 onwards, probationer nurses were offered lectures by the medical school and hospital staff; these lectures developed into a more formal syllabus, becoming compulsory for probationers in the 1890s, and the first formal examinations were introduced in 1894. The archive charts the development of nursing education from the late 19th century to the 21st century, including important changes in the demographics of the nursing staff, such as the arrival of the Windrush generation.

The collection encompasses training of nurses at St George’s and related institutions: for instance, nursing training at Victoria Hospital for Children and Grove Hospital were merged with St George’s School of Nursing in the 1950s, leading to the establishment of a branch of the School of Nursing at Tooting, where St George’s Hospital and Medical School (later university) moved in the 1970s from Hyde Park Corner, central London.

Clara Jeynes photo album

Brown album – inscribed on the inside cover '"Jacques", with love, 1934' – containing black and white/sepia photographs apparently taken or collected by Clara Jeynes, who trained as a nurse at St George's. Includes images (with handwritten captions) of St George's Hospital (including theatres), Hyde Park, Princess Mary's Wedding Day (1922), the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley (1924), other workplaces in Walsall and Southport, and various personal photographs (including a group labelled 'Memories of Surrey Sundays'), a few of which have been inserted loose.

Epsom, Kingston, etc. album

Black/brown album labelled 'Epsom Hospital / Kingston Hospital / Queen Mary's Hosp.' containing black and white photographs of nurses, doctors, child patients, hospital buildings and Christmas/recreational gatherings at Epsom District Hospital (1943-1952), Kingston County Hospital, Cassel Hospital (Summer School, 1950), and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children (1952-1954), as well as other personal and holiday photographs (of Oban/Arran, Cornwall, Somerset, Egypt, etc).

Most of the pages are annotated with captions (including mention of the children's specific diseases), although the identity of the album's creator remains unclear.

Jean Meadows photo album

Album labelled 'Career' containing photographs featuring or relating to St George's nurse Jean Meadows (née Veronica Jean Cruise), including scenes of nurses, wards, Christmas festivities, royal visits, etc. Also includes press cuttings about visits by two different Duchesses of Kent (Princess Marina and Katharine) and an inserted certificate of completion of the St George's tuberculosis nursing course (1957).

Personal photographs

Miscellaneous personal/portrait photographs of people connected to St George's, including Sister Chapman, Sister Bryant ('looking at Coronation Procession from Drummond Ward'), and Dame Helen Cargill, as well as personal photographs of a 1953 rugby tour (presumably the St George's team?) and a visit of St George's students to Battersea Park Fun Fair.

Enrolled nurse group photographs

Black and white (and a few colour) group photographs of sets of enrolled (pupil) nurses, many of which are annotated with names or numbers. That these are pictures of pupil nurses has been inferred from the fact that most of them were previously stored in a plastic folder labelled 'Photos of SEN [Student Enrolled Nurse] sets having completed 2 year course', although by the late 1980s the student/pupil distinction seems to have blurred.

Solo student portraits

Two yellow Kodak boxes containing individual black and white portrait photographs of two sets of student nurses, as well as a few black and white and colour group shots for comparison. The nurses in box 1 are wearing legible name badges, which has made it possible to date their year of entry to 1973 (by cross-referencing with the lists in NU/1/1/19); the nurses in box 2 are not wearing such badges, but from their similar appearance seem to date from the same time period.

Official visits and events

Black and white (and a few colour) photographs of official visits and events, including visits by Queen Elizabeth II to Hyde Park Corner in 1962 and to the opening of the Tooting site in 1980, visits by the Duchess of Kent and other royals, Christmas/formal dinners and parties (including copies of a set of photographs taken at Christmas on the maternity wards in 1949), the opening of a garden dedicated to Grace Hickie in 1987 (with photocopy of a letter about the event), etc.

Many of the photographs have press copyright stamps on the reverse.

Prizegiving ceremonies

Black and white and colour photographs (and some colour contact sheets) of prizegiving ceremonies, featuring nurses receiving prizes/certificates/medals from various dignitaries, including the Duchess of Kent. Most of the photographs have press copyright stamps on the reverse.

'A London Assistant Nurse Training School' series

Set of black and white photographs in a series entitled 'A London Assistant Nurse Training School', taken for the Ministry of Health in 1958 and issued by the Central Office of Information, with explanatory captions affixed to the reverse of each print. They include shots of pupil assistant nurses studying and interacting with patients.

The box these photographs are stored in is labelled 'Complete Set of Photographs: Grove Hospital 1958' (with a note stating that it was 'found during [a] clear out', 1997), indicating that they were taken at the Grove Hospital site, which was by 1958 the Tooting branch of St George's. The box also contains six photographs of an ambulance which, while also seemingly taken at Tooting, do not appear to belong to the 'Assistant Nurse' set.

Grove Hospital

Reproduction of a single black and white photograph of a group of staff and patients (holding a banner from '4B ward') outside the Grove Hospital, Tooting.

Note that this image dates from before the Grove was absorbed into St George's in the 1950s (but after it had dropped the 'Fever' from its original name of Grove Fever Hospital); for later images of the Grove site in its St George's era, see NU/6/2/1/6.

Group photographs

Black and white and colour photographs of groups of student/pupil nurses and staff at St James' Hospital (excluding those taken at prizegivings, for which see NU/6/2/5/4), including photographs featuring cast members of the BBC nursing soap opera 'Angels', which was filmed at the hospital. Also includes an early sepia image (c. 1910s-1920s?) which is not explicitly labelled as St James', but was stored with the rest of this material.

Note that more St James' group photographs can be found in the albums NU/6/1/1/4-6.

Solo/duo portraits

Black and white and colour portrait photographs of nurses and doctors, either solo or in pairs, including head shots of matron Dorothy Morris, surgeon David Caro and 'Mr Alexander', and a series of photos featuring a male and a female student nurse (A. J. Neary and M. A. Vento) that according to one of the labels was taken for use in a promotional brochure (c.1973). Some of the images are mounted or printed on board.

Prizegiving ceremonies

Black and white (and a few colour) photographs of prizegiving ceremonies (and presentations of certificates) at St James' Hospital, including shots of nurses collecting prizes, speeches being made, and groups of attendees dressed up for the occasion. Also includes discrete booklet and 'Nursing Times Photographs' wallet containing photos for the 1961 and 1963 prizegivings respectively.
