Pictures of Nursing: The Zwerdling Postcard Collection
Traveling Exhibit from the National Library of Medicine
WCC Bailey Library Exhibit
Washtenaw Community College Bailey Library has been selected by the NNLM to host the Traveling Exhibit Pictures of Nursing: The Zwerdling Postcard Collection. Nurses and nursing have been the frequent subjects of postcards. These postcard images are informed by cultural values; ideas about women, men, and work; and by attitudes toward class, race, and national differences. Pictures of Nursing: The Zwerdling Postcard Collection presents a selection of historic postcards that span a century of nursing imagery and investigates the hold these images exert on the public imagination—then and now.
Join us on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. National Library of Medicine
