The Oral History Program

 

The Bellevue Alumnae Center for Nursing History maintains an oral history program. This program exists to capture the life stories of nurses whose careers contribute to the rich history of nursing in New York State. Many of the interviews have been transcribed and transcripts are available to interested researchers. Please contact Deb Elliott at [email protected] to gain access to these tapes or transcripts.
