Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Banner Health System photograph collection provides a look into the beginnings of this Fargo-based company. The collection is part of a greater collection of the company’s documents and manuscripts donated to the Institute and processed as Manuscript 274. All images were taken when the company was still being operated under the name Lutheran Hospitals and Homes Society. The photograph collection touches on a wide range of topics including company gatherings, portraiture, staff, patients, and images of various hospital facilities. The collection has been organized into four series: People, Buildings, Albums, and Slides.
The People Series contains twenty-nine photographs of nursing staff, company celebrations, babies, and portraits of Banner Health’s former CEOs. CEOs included are Fred Knautz, Harry Malm, Robert Anderson, Michael Bice and Steven Orr.
The Building Series contains thirteen historical images of hospitals and nursing homes that were run by Banner Health. Locations include Fargo N.D., Jamestown N.D., Valley City N.D., Hazen N.D., Hettinger N.D., Tioga N.D., Hot Springs S.D., Eureka S.D., and Fremont Neb. The series is arranged alphabetically by city name. It also includes prints made of four original negatives of nursing home in Fargo.
The Albums Series contains two historical photo albums from the 1950s. Many of the albums’ original photos have been lost or removed over the years and, on some pages, only a few remain. Both albums contain images of staff, company functions, and hospital and nursing home facilities. Many of the photographs are labeled by location while others remain unidentified. Facilities represented in the first album include in Webster, S.D., Britton, S.D., Eurkea, S.D., Canova, S.D., Hot Springs, S.D., Fargo, N.D., Valley City, N.D., Jamestown, N.D., Jordan, Forsyth, Terry and Columbus, Mont., Sterling, Colorado, and Sheldon, Iowa. Facilities represented in the second album include in Grand Island, Neb., Crystal Falls, Mich., Hot Springs, S.D., Crippled Children’s School, Jamestown, N.D., Fargo Nursing Home, Good Samaritan Home, Arthur, N.D., Sterling, Colo., and Forsyth, Mont.
The Slide Series contains 369 slides of company facilities, staff, activities, and gatherings. When donated, the slides were in no recognizable order so they have since been arranged into either alphabetically by city or topical. Many of the slides were originally labeled with the town in which the image was taken, and they make up the majority of the collection. A breakdown of the slides is included in the contents listing below.
