Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This is not a comprehensive collection of Bacon's papers, but a fragmented assortment representing various phases of her personal and professional life between 1942 and 1985. Most of the collection comprises reprints, course outlines, references, and guides, with some correspondence and minutes from meetings of the VSBN and the VNA. Her career from 1955 to 1991 is highlighted in documents relating to the Richmond Professional Institute, the Medical College of Virginia, state boards, nurses associations, and junior colleges, as well as the National League for Nursing and the American Nurses Association. The material is most notable for its World War II correspondence, and for a interview of Bacon discussing her war experiences on cassette tape. A collection of books and pamphlets, listed below, was separated from the manuscript materials and has been incorporated into the holdings of the Center for Nursing Historical Inquiry and the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library Historical Collections, if not already in their collections.
