Visiting Nurse Association of Allegheny County records, 1918-1990 (inclusive)

The records of the Visiting Nurse Association of Allegheny County document a wide range of issues in home nursing that appeared in the period from the association’s founding in 1919, up to the high-tech period of home care in the 1980s. The collection includes Board of Directors minutes, committee reports, and some substation files.

This collection also includes 300 photographs and several scrapbooks.
