Artifacts Search

Museum Collections

The museum collection includes artifacts that tell the fascinating story of nursing in Alberta. Objects such as uniforms, caps, pins, yearbooks, diplomas, equipment etc. demonstrate the importance of professional nursing in this province.

The College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) Museum has recently begun to digitize its artifact collections. Please check back regularly as we continue to add to this online collection.

 

Search Tips

Within search boxes:

  • To do a wildcard search use "*" at the end of a string of letters.
    Example:
    "nurs*" will find nurses, nursing, etc.
  • To narrow a search (boolean "and") use "&" between the search terms.
    Example: "war & military" will find records in which both words occur.
  • To broaden a search (boolean "or") use "/" between the search terms.
    Example: "labour unions / professional organizations" will find records in which one of these terms occurs.
  • To search for one term but not another use "!" between the search terms.
    Example: "health services ! health service".
  • To search on a date range use ":" between the search terms.
    Example:
    "1950 : 1960" will find records with date information between and including the two years.
