The collection consists primarily of original pen-and-ink sketches by Phyllis Mulford ’47 that were used in the production of the Class of 1947 Yearbook. Although they were scheduled to be disposed of after printing, Ms. White retrieved them from the yearbook office, had them mounted and framed, and displayed them for many years in her home. Subjects depicted in the sketches include various scenes of nursing activity and student recreational life; a detailed list is given below.

The collection also includes a book of laboratory exercises, the Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, used by Ms. White during her time as a nursing student. It also contains a copy of Three Arches, the Class of 1947 Yearbook, with extensive inscriptions to Ms. White.

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.

These papers document Michael Caldwell's role in the Student Council of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (1988-90) as well as his role as the Mount Sinai representative to the Organization of Student Representatives (OSR) of the American Association of Medical Colleges (1987-90). While serving on the Council, Caldwell spearheaded a movement to ensure that Mount Sinai became a smoke free environment. The Council passed a resolution, and Caldwell gathered information on making hospitals smoke free. He spoke to the Medical Board and was appointed to an institutional task force to make changes in this area.
These papers provide insights into the concerns of students during this time, as well as Caldwell's own interests in public health. The minutes from the Student Council have been removed to series.

The documents comprising the Roosevelt Hospital School of Nursing Records Collection reflect the school’s inception, growth, and affairs for much of its 78 year existence (1896-1974). The collection is particularly rich in photographs, which include directors and other principals of the school as well as graduating classes.

The Alumnae Association Bulletin, subsequently the Roosevelt Review, remains a primary and exceptionally rich source of information, not only for the school’s affairs, but also for much of Roosevelt Hospital’s history and activities during that period.

This small collection has five series: School of Nursing records, the Alumnae Association records, Alumnae Papers, Artifacts and Photographs. The School of Nursing series is 14 folders of basic information about the School, the highlights of which are the annual announcements catalogs (folders 2-5) outlining the entrance requirements and the curriculum, and the Triennium, the class yearbooks for 1951, 1952, 1955, 1957, 1968, 1973, and 1974. The proposal by the New York Infant Asylum to provide obstetric training is also of note as it provides a detailed list of areas of instruction for 1895 (folder 9). Student transcripts from 1941-1974 are also included in this collection; please see note under that series for details.

Significant records in The Alumnae Association series are the annual reports for the Association and a nearly complete run of the Association’s Bulletin, providing news of its members and of the Hospital. (Note that a number of annual reports are published in particular Bulletin issues, which are clearly noted in the container list. Also note that an appendix listing all of the Bulletins in the collection, along with a list of all the directresses, can be found at https://archives.mssm.edu/downloads/aa149.pdf) Also of significance are the three volumes of Alumnae Rosters, the first of which contains a short history of the School. These books and the two volumes of the Alumnae Association annual reports are behind all the folders in box 2. Photographs of Alumnae are also included in the collection; however, they are filed in the larger St. Luke’s Hospital series of the Photograph Collection. A scrapbook of snap shots of student nurses around 1953-1955 is also found in the artifacts.

The Alumnae Papers consists of materials donated by the School’s graduates and may include bulletins, pamphlets, yearbooks, artifacts such as uniforms or graduate pins, invitations and other materials. This series is arranged by donation date.

Artifacts include a complete student nurse’s uniform, with its distinctive wool cape and the School's graduate pin.
