(7) Student Case studies student research papers, c. 1950., 1950

This collection focuses on medical illustration and the curriculum that Albrecht taught while she was an instructor at Lansing Community College. It contains many examples of anatomical drawings. Many of the drawings were signed by Myra Clark, a separate individual collection archived at the Bjoring Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry. Some of the drawings are labeled; most of them are in black and white. If there was a notation about a particular drawing, that was archived and kept with the drawing. A few of the illustrations are in color. Four nursing manuals from Albrecht’s curriculum at Lansing Community College are included in this collection, plus, a Health Assessment Handbook.

This collection contains clippings from various newspapers (c. 1974) regarding the building and dedication of the McLeod Building, nursing issues and nurses, or staff, that Albrecht was associated with. A plaque honoring Albrecht’s commitment to nursing was given to her at her retirement in 1993 and this is also a part of the collection. Finally, the contents of a scrapbook containing clippings and publications about UVA School of nursing are also in this collection. Of special interest is a pamphlet for the dedication program at the Josephine McLeod Nursing Education Building in 1972. Box 3 was added after the first two boxes. There were artifacts pertaining to students nursing that added to the scope of this collection such as nursing cap, surgical cap and scissors. Box 3 also has two very specific student nursing presentations: “Sex Education” and “Spiritual Distress.”

Albrecht has an oversized student scrapbook in Small Collections: Student Scrapbooks, added May 2008. The scrapbook chronicles her student years at UVA, School of Nursing and contains, photos, drawings, invitations, programs, newspaper clippings, graduation information and mementos. It has been dismantled but kept in original order.
