The Midwest Nursing History Research Center is the central repository for nursing historical documents and artifacts from the Midwestern United States and serves as a center for scholars engaged in historical research. Collecting, preserving and disseminating Midwestern nursing history, the center combines a small museum with an archival collection and space for scholarly research. Researchers, students and members of the public are encouraged to contact the center and arrange for a visit or discuss the archival holdings.

We are always looking to both bring our work to more audiences and to build upon our work with stories & history from the community.
