University of Illinois Chicago Hospital nursing, 1980-1985

 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This series consists of biographical information and personal papers. Biographical information includes documents such as a personal data sheet, ministry lists, jubilee and funeral materials, photographs, professional certifications, academic diplomas, a photcopied certificate of naturalization, contact information of next of kin, and more. It also includes a legal-sized Austrian birth certificate, and her mother's immigration papers and other legal documents.

Personal papers highlight several important aspects of Sister's life and ministry: her work with the blind, her work in pediatric nursing, and her and her family's Austrian roots. The sub-series entitled "Work with the Blind," contains correspondence, lecture programs, class assignments, braille printed psalms, and other materials. The bulk of these were created when Sister was serving as a teacher to blind students at Saint Hilary School, and as a summer lecturer on the methods of teaching to the blind at Catholic University of America. Several series, including "News articles," "Correspondence," and Employment contracts," all include information on Sister's role and training as a pediatric nurse. Finally, the series "Family immigration documents," as well as notes housed in the "biographical information" series represent Sister's Austrian heritage.
