1876réf. 167211876. Wakelee Cora B. Diary 1876 records a young Connecticut student's firsthand account of the Centennial Exposition alongside later entries documenting her high school achievements and social writing practices. The manuscript provides primary evidence of how a young woman experienced and interpreted the first official World's Fair held in the United States while also preserving the social and literary conventions of adolescent friendship in the late nineteenth century.

Manuscript volume containing 48 handwritten pages including early entries partially overwritten with inscription "Cora B. Wakelee Huntington Conn. May 22 1876" on the front endpaper.

Nursing History The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review on Clinical Practice and Hospital Administration 1911

1911réf. 178781911. The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review June 1911 documents the professional education clinical techniques and hospital administration concerns confronting American nurses during the expansion of hospital-based nurse training in the early twentieth century. Articles address injection techniques nursing programs and hospital security and administration placing practical bedside instruction beside discussion of the institutions in which nurses trained and worked. The issue dates from a period when hospital training schools played a dominant role in American nursing education and student nurses supplied much of the routine nursing labor within those institutions conditions that generated continuing debate over the balance between clinical service and formal instruction. The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review. New York: Lakeside Publishing Company June 1911. Approximately 10 x 6.75 inches. 408 pages. Articles cover injection procedures reviews of nursing programs and hospital administrative and security concerns. Advertisements at the front and rear promote medical uniforms equipment fashion and household goods preserving the commercial material presented to the journal's predominantly nursing readership alongside its professional content. The combination of technical articles institutional reporting and advertising records the expanding professional culture surrounding trained nursing and hospital work in the Progressive Era. The issue appeared while American nursing education was increasingly centered in hospital-operated training schools where students received extensive practical experience but were also relied upon for institutional labor. Its discussions of technique training and hospital management provide contemporary evidence of how nursing knowledge was communicated within that environment rather than through later accounts of professionalization. Page 333 is cut vertically with approximately half the page lacking. Some tearing at the stapled spine and light sunning to the cover not obscuring the bold title lettering. Overall good condition. unknown
