Abstract: This case study uses the photographic collection of the Alumnae Association of the Philadelphia General Hospital School of Nursing (PGH) as primary source data to construct a narrative on the role of professional nursing in a major municipal institution by documenting and validating changes over time during the late 19th to 20th centuries.
