The Royal Children's Hospital Archives
Photograph, Nurse graduates ringing the ship's bell, Royal Children's Hospital, Parkville, 1968, 1968
The bell was salvaged from RMS Australia and it was tradition for nurses to ring it when celebrating success in their exams.The photographic collection at the RCH has been identified as especially significant, and comparative research suggests that it is one of the biggest and most diverse visual records of children’s health held by any hospital in Australia. Spanning more than a century, the collection traces the changes in how children have been cared for. It also reveals the daily experiences of hospital staff and patients over its long history, and the deeply personal stories of medical care that can result in sorrow or relief.Black and white photograph loose in sleeve -
