Series 10b – Records, 1956-1987.
Physical Description: 9 boxes (3.5 linear ft.)
Arrangement note: Alphabetically by subject.
Agency Note: The College of Nursing at the University of Florida was founded in 1956 under the direction of Dean Dorothy Smith. It is one of the original colleges in the J. Hillis Miller Health Center.
Contents Note: Series 10b is an artificial series that contains records of the College of Nursing compiled from files of several early faculty members and former deans and assistant deans of the college. The materials were gathered in the 1980s as part of an attempt to create a Nursing Historical Collection in the J. Hillis Miller Health Center Library. That project was abandoned and the records were transferred to the University Archives. They returned to the Health Center in 2004 to form part of the George T. Harrell Medical History Center.
Among the faculty who contributed to Series 10b were Dean Dorothy Smith, Dorothy Luther, Lois Knowles and Carol Hayes. The records date back to the inception of the college in 1956 and there is considerable overlap with Series 10a. With the exception of Curriculum and Faculty minutes, little effort was made to eliminate redundant material.
There was no order to the collection when it was originally accessioned. Much of it consisted of individual documents gleaned from people’s personal files. Handwritten notes are often found with official documents and many of the documents contain annotations in the margins.
Series 10b consists primarily of faculty memoranda and meeting minutes. Curricular materials were removed to create a separate series of course materials. There is considerable documentation on the College’s 25th anniversary celebration in 1981. Also evident are records related to the teaching philosophy of the college and the effect of that philosophy on the organization of the college. Speeches and lectures given by Dean Smith and several other faculty members are also found.
