| NURSING INFORMATICS EXPERTS: WE NEED YOUR HELP
This is a request to collect your archival materials for
the Nursing Informatics Collection which has been established at the National
Library of Medicine (NLM) History of Medicine Division. The Nursing Informatics
Collection initiative was started in the late 1990s by Dr. Virginia K, Saba
who wanted to capture and preserve the historical information from our Nursing
Informatics pioneers.
To date materials from Harriet Werley, Coralee Farlee, Kathy
Mikan and several others have been transferred to the collection. Materials
that would be appropriate for archival include those documents, pictures,
videos that are over ten years old that would contribute to the body of informatics
knowledge and history.
At this time, an archival initiative has been re-instituted
by the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), Nursing Informatics
Working Group (NIWG). NIWG is soliciting archival materials from Nursing Informatics
Experts who have documents that belong in the NI Collection.
First, the materials you wish to donate to the Nursing Informatics
Collection at the NLM need to be reviewed. This can be done by sending information
on the type, number, and other details describing your materials to Dr. Virginia
K. Saba’s attention. Click here
to email Dr. Saba Once a subcommittee reviews your material for appropriateness, they will send you an approval letter with the (a) Transfer Guidelines and (b) Deed of Gift forms. Thank you for your commitment and support in capturing and preserving the history of Nursing Informatics. Sincerely, The American Medical Informatics Association’s Nursing Informatics Working Group |
