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.
