Nursing

LHSA holds a wealth of records relating to nursing in Edinburgh, from letters and certificates of individuals to training registers from hospital nursing schools.

We also have a vast number of photographs relating to nursing.  Please contact us if you'd like to know more about our photographic collection, or make an initial search via SCRAN.

Each of the links in the blue box above will provide you with a list of relevant LHSA collections.  From that list you can follow the links to the individual catalogues to find out more about the records themselves.  We have also included a bibliography.
