New England Deaconess Hospital (NEDH) opened in 1896, rooted in the Methodist deaconess movement in Germany. Deaconesses are ordained religious women who participate in missionary work and care for the sick. The New England Home and Training School for deaconesses had opened in Boston in 1889, and the first superintendent, Mary E. Lunn, led the drive for an associated hospital that would allow for hospital-trained nurses to instruct students. The hospital opened in a converted brownstone, a comfortable, homelike environment intended to complement the deaconesses' role in patient care. In 1898, the first class of three graduated from New England Deaconess Hospital's nursing school. In 1899, non-deaconesses were allowed to attend, and by 1904 the course had increased to three years, including a probationary period.
In 1913 the NEDH School of Nursing (NEDH SON) became associated with Simmons College, which allowed nursing students to take science courses in addition to their hospital training. By 1922, the training school for deaconesses had merged with the Department of Religious Education at Boston University, leaving their facilities to the sole use of the expanding School of Nursing. Increased secularization, professionalization, and specialization in the medical field meant more women were becoming nurses rather than deaconesses, and NEDH began attracting specialists like Dr. Elliot P. Joslin, an authority on diabetes and one of the first to use insulin treatment. Despite the institution's gradual move away from an overtly religious mission, non-Protestants were not widely admitted to the School of Nursing until 1951.
Nursing education shifted from diploma schools like the NEDH School of Nursing to college programs in the 1960s. In 1963, the School of Nursing ended its association with Simmons College and became affiliated with Northeastern University, providing students an opportunity to also receive bachelor's degrees. It also became more common for students to attend Boston University. The federal Nurse Training Act of 1964 meant that diploma and collegiate schools of nursing were eligible for federal grants and student loans. Ellen D. Howland, director of the School of Nursing from 1956-1985, became an assistant director of NEDH in 1967, long before her peers in nursing were similarly valued.
Although the School of Nursing scored in the top rankings of diploma schools throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, the strong trend towards collegiate degrees in nursing education, combined with the hospital's need for space, resulted in the decision in 1986 to close the School of Nursing. The last class entered in September 1986 and graduated in May 1989, after which the School of Nursing was officially closed.

Subseries E: Correspondence and subject files, 1903-1989 Scope and Contents
Correspondence and subject files were compiled mainly by Ellen Howland, director of NEDH SON from 1956-1985, and Barbara Hooker, director from 1985-1989. Correspondence consists of internal administrative correspondence and memos as well as external correspondence with alumni, state and federal agencies, hospitals, and businesses. Subject files contain administrative memos and records, as well as research files and older records documenting the school's origins and history. Cadet Nurse Corps records in the subject files date from 1943-1946 and detail the accelerated training given to nurses during WWII as part of a government-sponsored program that subsidized tuition in exchange for a pledge of service during wartime. Also of interest is a notebook that appears

Series VI: Course materials, circa 1881-1989 Scope and Contents
Course materials are arranged in six subseries: 1. Clinical course materials; 2. Course evaluations; 3. Course outlines and study guides; 4. Examinations; 5. Lectures and student notes; 6. Program evaluations. Materials all subseries are arranged in chronologically, except for lecture notes, which is arranged alphabetically. Course materials from NEDH SON are frequently identified by course title or the students' class year. Clinical course materials consist of procedure manuals, course outlines, and other instructional booklets, such as precedent books, for students regarding the hands-on skills they needed to acquire. A representative sample of clinical rotation schedules and correlation charts are also included. Course evaluations include summaries of student survey responses about course content and instructors. Course outlines and study guides are frequently found together; some lecture notes and bibliographies may also be included in the course packets. Lecture and student notes contain a set of notes attributed to Claire G. Elliott, class of 1922, whose scrapbook is included in the scrapbooks series. Also in the lecture and student notes subseries is a notebook that belonged to Elizabeth H. Winslow, dated around the turn of the twentieth century, which includes recipes for nurses in addition to notes on medical diagnoses and treatments. Program evaluation records contain assessments of various areas of the School of Nursing, such as curriculum evaluation, recruitment, faculty development and continuing education, rules and regulations, and organization plans.

Series IX: Photographs and prints, circa 1890-1989 Scope and Contents
The photographs and prints series contains official portraits of students, graduating classes, and nursing and medical staff, as well as candid photographs of ceremonies, dances, and other aspects of student life. Scenes of the working life of nursing students, staff nurses, and physicians at the various Deaconess Hospitals and Homes, including photographs of surgical procedures, are well represented in this series. Many candid photographs were originally taken for use in the NEDH SON yearbook. A number of portraits in this collection were taken by the prominent Bachrach photography studios. Images of Deaconess buildings feature the New England Deaconess Hospital at Longwood, the original Deaconess Home in Boston's South End, the Deaconess Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, and the Fresh Air Home in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
This series also includes original oversize photographic prints used in promotional pamphlets for the hospital, such as "The Sixth Decade," "Tomorrow the Impossible," and "Miracles by Gaslight," copies of which are in the publications series. Pages from a disassembled photograph album that belonged to Claire Elliott, class of 1922, relate to a scrapbook she compiled which is in the scrapbooks series. Some modern negatives of historical photographs were produced for use in publications about NEDH SON and are stored with their original print. In addition, the series contains several art prints depicting Florence Nightingale, a poster book depicting famous nurses, and an engraving of an unidentified minister.
Photographs and prints are arranged alphabetically by title or subject. Dates often correspond to the graduating class year, rather than to the actual date of an event.

Series XI: Scrapbooks, circa 1890-1972 Scope and Contents
The scrapbook series includes fifteen scrapbooks created by students and staff of NEHD SON and its affiliated hospitals. These scrapbooks contain a large number of photographs and clippings, as well as pamphlets, mailings, promotional materials, letters, class schedules, invitations, greeting cards, and souvenir objects. Only two of the scrapbooks have identified creators: the Claire G. Elliott NEDH scrapbook and the Warren F. Cook NEDH and Palmer Memorial Hospital scrapbook. Claire G. Elliott, who graduated from NEDH SON in 1922, began compiling her scrapbook as a probationer in 1918 and completed it in 1940. Dr. Warren F. Cook, a Methodist minister with a doctorate in Divinity, served as superintendent of NEDH from 1929 to 1954. One scrapbook, "Science and Christianity at Work in the New Palmer Memorial Hospital," appears to have been a lending publication intended for use in fundraising lectures. The majority of the later scrapbooks, especially those dating from the 1950s and 1960s, are collections of newspaper clippings regarding NEDH and its students. Many of the scrapbooks are fragile and should be handled with care.
