Album of photographs relating to Doris Pedersen's early nursing career

Album begins with Wellington Hospital in about 1927/28 and shows the new buildings which opened in 1928, the nurses home and Toxwood's hospital buildings of 1880. There are many photographs of nurses, some staged in operating theatres with doctors and nurses arround the patient, one administering chloroform onto a fabric pad over the patients face.

The rest of the photographs in the album relate to Doris Pedersen's work in maternity hospitals and hospitals specialising in the care of very young children. These include Alexandra Children's Hospital, Karitane Hospital, a hospital in a large late victorian house with a big garden, and Dr Doris and William Gordon's Marire Private Hospital in Stratford.. Associated with these hospitals are many images of nurses and the children in their care.
