In late 1990 the Foundation of the New York State Nurses Association Center for History of Nursing initiated a project to document New York state nurses’ service in the Persian Gulf. The project was subsequently expanded to include documentation of all New York nurses’ military service and contributions, from the Civil War to the present. Scrapbooks, letters, photographs, audio tapes, artifacts, and memorabilia document the service and contributions of New York state military nurses. Included are photographs and other materials from the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. Of particular note are nurses’ uniforms from the Korean War, scrapbooks from World War II and the Persian Gulf War, and photographs of New York nurses at Iwo Jima.
