Library Resource Guides: Focus on individual nurses & midwives

The ANMC was founded by Australian War Nurses who survived unimaginable adversity during the WWII - read some of their stories online.

The ANMHP is hosted by the Department of Nursing at the University of Melbourne. It includes a biographical register, details of historic nursing organisations, and reference sources.

The Great War Forum site was created for discussion and research on all aspects of World War I

Features information about individuals, organisations, societies, institutions, and industries, including several biographies of Australian nurses and midwives.

As part of a major Department of Health and Human Services records transfer, nurse training books from Fairfield are now available at the Public Records Office of Victoria collection. Contained within the four volumes that make up the series you can find entries for nurses in training.
