Fanny Allen Hospital Archives

 Schools of Nursing series (1899-1967)
Administrative History 
The Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph played an important role in the formation of nurses to serve in hospitals. The first RHSJ Training School in Vermont was founded to provide professional nurses for the Fanny Allen Hospital. The Bishop DeGoesbriand Hospital School of Nursing administered by the RHSJ from Burlington Vermont, became an association in 1943 and was incorporated in 1945.  In 1954, the FAH and the BDGH Schools of Nursing amalgamated to become the Jeanne Mance School of Nursing.

Scope and Content
This series consists of records from the FAH School of Nursing, the BDGH and Jeanne Mance Schools of Nursing; and Alumnae from FAH School.

Note
Among the few records contained in this series, there are the 649 files of former students at FAH School and a considerable amount of photos from different periods of its history.
