Harper Hospital CollectionPapers, 1857-198913 linear feet13 storage boxes & 2 scrapbooksAccession # 1446DALNET #OCLC #Harper Hospital was founded in May, 1863 on land donated by Walter Harper, whoearned his fortune in real estate investments, and his housekeeper, Nancy Martin. Thehospital didn’t receive its first patients, Civil War soldiers, until its designation as amilitary hospital in 1864. Harper Hospital continued this tradition into the twentiethcentury, establishing base hospitals in Europe during both World Wars.In January, 1866 Harper Hospital opened as a general hospital. As the population ofDetroit grew, so did the hospital’s needs; in 1882 a new building was erected on John RStreet, followed in 1913 by the J. L. Hudson and Theodore D. Buhl Memorial Buildings,and in 1928 by the Brush Street Building. In 1883, the Farrand Training School forNurses, later the Harper Hospital School of Nursing, was established.The Harper Hospital Collection consists of minutes, correspondence, reports, clippings,scrapbooks, and other material related to the history of Harper Hospital and its School ofNursing.PLEASE NOTE: Folders are computer-arranged alphabetically in thisfinding aid, but may actually be dispersed throughout several boxes in thecollection.
