Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of images, a majority of which were published in The Lamp, the school’s annual yearbook. The collection has been arranged into topical series, which are then arranged chronologically by year.
Yearbook Class (Group) Photograph Series contains photos of the graduating classes starting in 1961 and ending with 1987, the last graduating class before the school closed. Many years have multiple different versions of the same graduating class.
The Yearbook Class Portrait Series includes professionally photographed images of student nurses for use in the yearbook class photos.
The Student Life Series ranges from the mid-1960s to 1986, with most content from the 1980s. The photographs depict nursing students in a casual context, most images are candid while some are posed. The images show students involved in aerobics, basketball, bus trips, cooking, art, studying, music, socializing, playing volleyball, playing pool, among other recreational activities.
Student Organizations Series contains images of various St. Luke’s School of Nursing committees, usually consisting of a staff member serving as advisor and a group of students. Committees at the school during the 1970s-80s included the Student Nurses Association of North Dakota, judicial board committee, promotions committee, curriculum committee, personnel policy committee, appeal committee, yearbook staff, and advisory committee.
Faculty and Administration Series includes images of instructors, administration, and employees. The photographs are a mix of posed and candid shots. This series includes images of staff organizations and committees, posed professional staff yearbook portraits, providing hands-on training with students, staff meetings, and working. Photographs of the faculty and administrative committees include the promotions committee, curriculum committee, personnel policy committee, appeal committee, and advisory committee. Pictured are support staff, library staff, RA staff, housekeeping, counselors, administrators, directors, coordinators, student service staff, and first and second year instructors of psychiatrics, obestrics, pediatrics, and adult nursing.
The Classroom and Training Series includes photographs of students learning in the classroom, the lab, and the hospital. Students pictured were working with doctors, instructors, other students, and patients. The photographs show classes and hands-on training that covered pediatrics, obstetrics, pediatrics, adult nursing, psychiatric nursing, and audio/visual technical training. Photographs in classrooms feature more laidback, casual attire while hospital and lab work required a uniform or scrubs.
The Events Series includes commencement, post-commencement, talent shows, dances, holiday parties, luncheons, award ceremonies, and banquets. In 1983, the students put together a talent show called “The Gong Show”, where acts were judged by instructors and a gong was struck if acts were bad. Halloween and Christmas parties were annual, along with Thanksgiving dinners. End-of-year events were celebrated with student nurse award ceremonies and spring luncheons.
The Building Series contains images of the exterior and interior of the St. Luke’s Nursing School building, renovations, the previous building, and the St. Luke’s Hospital.
The Negatives Series includes the negative slides for 1980s photographs, the originals are part of the other series in the collection.
The Graduate Composites Series consists of graduation photographs of the nurses from St. Luke’s School of Nursing in Fargo, North Dakota. The photographs date from 1911 to 1987. The photographs are mounted on cardboard and the graduates’ names and graduation year are written on the board. Some of the photographs were coming loose and required archival corners to be applied to reattach them to the original boards. Because of the size of the boards, some were trimmed to meet storage requirements. Some oversized boards were cut to facilitate scanning size requirements. The collection also contains one panoramic photograph of the nursing staff of 1943. This photograph was placed at the end of the collection because it does not correspond with any specific graduating class. The composites are stored flat in the map cases under collection Oversize 19.
