Records of an organization which kept a registry of professional nurses in the Milwaukee area, sponsored educational programs, promoted legislation of concern to nurses, and organized civic and social events for nurses. The group organized as the Milwaukee County Nurses Association in 1912 and affiliated with the Wisconsin State Nurses Association in 1915. In 1928, the Wisconsin Nurses Club and Directory (organized in 1919) merged with the Nurses Association. Records include general correspondence, minutes, some committee records, section records, financial records, newsletters and a subject file. Materials in the subject file document special problems facing the nursing profession, especially education and training of nurses, unemployment, and the mobilization of nurses for civilian and military during World War II. The subject file also contains some records from other professional and civic organizations with which the Association cooperated, most notably the Wisconsin Nurses Club and Directory, 1919-1928, and the Milwaukee District of the Wisconsin League of Nursing Education, 1923-1944.
