GENERAL

Though this is primarily a listing of the histories of individual hospitals or schools of nursing, there are a few general books which merit inclusion.

You can search for possible library locations of the books you are interested in through OCLC's WorldCat but note that not all libraries list their holdings in WorldCat!

The symbol below means the book is held by the McGill University Library, usually in the Osler Library of the History of Medicine.
