Royal District Nursing Service (now known as Bolton Clarke)
Photograph - Photograph, black and white, Barry Sutton, 28.06.1977
The Library held books on all aspects of health and nursing, and staff members when undergoing Education had access to information held in the Library. The RDNS Librarian was available to provide access to particular information for many RDNS staff. The Library also holds the RDNS Archives.From its inception in 1885 the Melbourne District Nursing Society (MDNS), Committee recognized that a high standard of knowledge was required to nurse the sick poor in the community, so only Trained nurses (Nurses) were employed to carry out this work. From early times Lady Janet Clarke paid a yearly subscription, for MDNS Nurses, to Mullen’s Select Library, which became Melville & Mullen’s, so the Nurses could increase their knowledge. In 1966 MDNS gained Royal patronage becoming Royal District Nursing Service, (RDNS) which developed its own Library of books on health care subjects and employed a Librarian who also cares for the RDNS Archives.Black and white photograph showing two Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS), staff selecting books from the RDNS Library. The lady on the left hand side of the photograph has her dark hair drawn back and is wearing a floral blouse under a dark top and cardigan, and a dark grey skirt. She is standing with her left arm extended and is selecting a book from the top shelf of the four shelf book stand. The Sister to her right, who has short dark hair and is wearing a dark tunic style frock over a light grey skivvy, is crouched with her left hand in the 2nd bottom shelf and her right arm extended selecting a book from the bottom shelf. Each shelf of the book stand is filled with various sized dark and light covered books.Photographers stamp.
