Photograph, Night duty nurses, Children's Hospital, Carlton, 1923
From 'Carlton album' 1922-1925The 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 with white border. Adhered to Page 5 of album."January 1923" handwritten in white pen at the top right of the page. "Night Duty" handwritten in white pen under the photograph.
