Staff Nurse Marion Marjorie Cunningham donated three photographic albums to the hospital archives, along with a selection of other items from her nursing days during the 1940s at The Royal Children’s Hospital. Nurse Cunningham’s albums depict the daily lives of nurses in training; including exams, living quarters, fĂȘtes, and leisure activities.
Inside the front cover of this album Nurse Cunningham has written “MY FINALS GROUP. ALL PASSED. THANK YOU ALL. (S Cunningham acting senior tutor sister).” Also attached to the cover is a card with a number of signatures followed by the words “Senior State. March 1946”.
