Welcome & About

Archives of Caring in Nursing

The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is dedicated to caring: advancing the science, studying its meaning, practicing the art, and living it day-to-day.

The Archives of Caring in Nursing has as its mission preserving the history of caring in nursing; inviting the study of caring; advancing caring as an essential domain of nursing knowledge; and creating meaning for the practice of nursing.

We are committed to securing the papers of Caring scholars, and developing and maintaining the Archives to provide access to primary sources.
