Archives Committee

The Archives, Artifacts, and Assorted Articles Committee of the BCHNPPG was formed ca. 1992 in order to accommodate artifacts and articles donated by individual nurses. In about 1993 or 1994, under co-chairs Brenda Flynn and Beverly Du Gas, the Committee became conscious of the need to preserve the group’s own records. The name of the committee was changed to the Archives Committee in 1996.

Subseries consists of committee records, including terms of reference and minutes of the Archives, Artifacts and Assorted Articles Committee, and records related to the development of the Group’s policies and procedures regarding archival material.

ASA Research

While an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa’s School of Nursing, Sheila Zerr devised an instructional program for nurses to increase people’s awareness of non-prescriptions drugs, focusing on ASA (aspirin). Funded by Sterling Drug Ltd., the project was designed to lead to a broader understanding of the drug and its effects. The information was designed to be passed on to nurses, and from them to the wider community.
