Custodial history
Most of these records were a gift of the Alumnae Association of The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing, received during 1988-1991. Others were given later by Sylvia Barker who was on the Faculty of the School and served as Associate Director of Nursing for many years under Gail Weissman. Some of the files were given to the Archives by other sources, including Mr. William J. Kridel, a Director of the School of Nursing.
