The filters to the left side of the screen can be used to view specific subsets of items in the Collections. By clicking the boxes next to selected options, the main body of the screen will display items that match the qualities selected in the filter section. You can make multiple selections in order to view the subset of items that you are interested in. Do not forget to scroll to the top of the page and click on \u201cClear Filters\u201d when you finish with a search so that you can select new options for your next search!<\/strong><\/p>

    The items in the Collections are organized according to the sub-collection they were placed in during their archival processing into the VGHSONAA Collections. There are seven sub-collections that contain photographic materials:<\/p>

    • Building Society (BS):<\/strong> The activities of the VGHSONAA Building Society, which operated from 1961 until 2003 and served Alumnae by operating a residence, the Alumnae Manor, in which retired nurses could find economical housing.<\/li>
    • Classes and Student Activities (CSA):<\/strong> Primarily contains the activities of students while studying at VGH School of Nursing, and documents changes in uniform over time.<\/li>
    • Graduation Ceremonies (GC):<\/strong> Contains photographs relating to graduating classes of nurses from VGH School of Nursing.
      • If you are looking for your graduation photo and it is not present in this section, the VGHSONAA may not have it digitized at present, or it may be located in another section\u2014try search terms like \u201cgraduation\u201d and \u201ccommencement\u201d in the top search bar, or considering donating a copy of a photograph!<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
      • Historic Photographs (HP):<\/strong> A miscellany of materials documenting the history of the School of Nursing, its buildings, and operations over the past century.<\/li>
      • Miscellaneous and Personae Recognition (MPR):<\/strong> Primarily consists of photographs of individuals who have had important relevance to the School of Nursing.<\/li>
      • Nursing Alumnae Functions (NAF):<\/strong> Activities of the VGHSONAA and its members post-graduation.<\/li>
      • Reunion Photos (RP):<\/strong> Documentation of reunion activities of past VGH School of Nursing classes over the years.<\/li><\/ul>

        There are also two categories of items (currently) that contain items held in other parts of the Collections.<\/p>

        • Archival Fonds (AF)<\/strong>: Items held in specific fonds related to individual alumnae, ranging from photographs to documents and<\/span> diplomas.<\/li>
        • Museum (M):<\/strong> A category that contains items held in the VGHSONAA museum, such as dolls documenting uniforms, metal nursing pins from the past century, and other commemorative items.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          Archival Addresses and Accession Numbers:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          \n\t\t\t\t
          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          If you know the Archival Address (usually two or three letters followed by a period followed by numbers and letters, such as HP.8a or CSA.27e) or the Accession Number (a unique identifying number given to items when they become part of the Archives) of the item you are looking for, these identifiers can be entered into the search boxes beneath the Sub-Collection filter.<\/p>

          On each item\u2019s individual web page, beneath the image there is a section that contains data like these two identifying numbers. Not all items have an Accession Number, but all items have an Archival Address. If you are taking notes and want to save a list of items to look at later, writing down the Archival Addresses of the images you are interested in is an easy way to refer back to them quickly using the Archival Address search bar, because the Addresses do not change.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          Taxonomy is a useful tool for making connections between items that are not in the same Sub-Category or from the same decade. The \u201cPeople, Places, Settings, and Things\u201d taxonomic tool can be used for many purposes:<\/p>

          • finding more about the activities of a particular group (e.g., the VGHSONAA Archive, the VGHSONAA Building Society),<\/li>
          • looking at how types of occasions or settings change over time (e.g., hospital wards, celebrations and holidays),<\/li>
          • viewing specific types of important objects in different settings (e.g., window displays, historical dolls),<\/li>
          • finding photos taken at specific locations (e.g., Laurel Pavilion, Nurses Residences),<\/li>
          • and identifying types of people (e.g., nurses, infant patients, alumnae).<\/li><\/ul>

            To use the taxonomy filter tool, click \u201cView All\u201d underneath the list of \u201cPeople, Places, Settings, and Things\u201d options.<\/strong> This will bring up a window that will allow you to check off a variety of options within the five categories of taxonomy types.<\/p>

            You can also click, in any item, on the specific taxonomic terms to view related items.<\/p>

            Note: Clicking the main categories under \u201cPeople, Places, Settings, and Things\u201d will not yield the level of detail needed to locate items of interest. Be sure to \u201cView All\u201d to navigate the sub-categories!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
