This small collection contains records documenting the professional life Marilyn Jaffe-Ruiz, EdD, RN from her graduation from The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in 1963 until her retirement from her academic career in 2011. Included here are presentations and publications, mostly relating to Dr. Jaffe-Ruiz' long-term interest in what is today known as cultural diversity, which grew from her work on her doctoral dissertation in 1980: "An Investigation of the Relationship Between Ethnocentrism of Nursing Faculty and Their Attitudes Toward Culturally Different Patients." There are also some artifacts from her years as a student at The Mount Sinai Hospital: a cap, pin and the yearbook for the Class of 1963.

This collection consists of papers and memorabilia related to Marjory Gordon, PhD. They deal primarily with her study at and graduation from The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing, including grades, an inscribed yearbook, clippings related to events at Mount Sinai during her time there, and scraps of her student nursing uniform signed by her classmates. The collection also includes a copy of Dr. Gordon's 1982 Manual of Nursing Diagnosis inscribed to an unidentified classmate as well as her 1992 Distinguished Alumna Award from the School of Nursing Alumnae Association.
There is relatively little material in the collection related to Dr. Gordon's later research, but the collection does include a 1960 manuscript on community health education that discusses the promotion of the Salk polio vaccine in New York City. It includes attached ephemera published by the National Federation for Infantile Paralysis (later the March of Dimes.) The collection also contains a small assortment of miscellaneous material from later in Dr. Gordon's career, primarily correspondence related to conference travel.

This small collection centers on Sylvia Barker's life at The Mount Sinai Hospital. The Reprints, etc. are photocopies that were sent to the Mount Sinai Archives by the Foundation of the New York State Nursing Association in 1993. Included there are copies of papers that she submitted as a student at Teacher's College. Similar items are found in the Teacher's College file. The By-laws found here are of interest because they show the organizations that Miss Barker was involved with over the years. The most unique component of the collection is the files that she created about the Class of 1936 of The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing, her class. She served as the lynchpin of the class, trying to gather information about classmates for reunions and round robin letters. There is also an interesting script for the Class Show that was put on in 1936.
