Nursing Library Collection Issues
Margaret (Peg) Allen has researched the question of what books should be
kept as historical resources in libraries serving nursing populations. Her original
article,
"Celebrating nursing history: what to keep, reprint collections, how and where to search, and
articles of interest" is available through the NAHRS website.
