Pictures of Nursing: The Zwerdling Postcard Collection is on display in the Health Sciences and Human Services Library through October 10, 2015. The exhibition explores a unique archive of 2,588 postcards and over 100 years of images of nurses and the nursing profession from around the world, investigating the hold these images exert on the public imagination—then and now. Additional information about the display is available at the Library’s Weise Gallery webpage.

The luncheon will be held on Wednesday, September 30 from 11:30 a.m. to1:00 p.m. in the Gladhill Boardroom. RSVP by emailing events@hshsl.umaryland.edu by September 25. Seating is limited.
