Dolls

Sheila Zerr writes “My fascination with dolls and nursing history began when teaching the history of nursing to first year students in 1971. At this time a display of portrait dolls illustrating the various historical periods of nursing was created. This collection has continued to grow and take form.” The changing costumes throughout the years provide insights into both the history of nursing and the changing perceptions of women in this role.

This series includes historical context for these dolls, including many photographs. Some information on the numerous displays of these dolls in a wide variety of venues is included. Sheila often collaborated with Glennis Zilm on the historical research.

Costumes

Sheila Zerr extended her interest in dolls to the creation of costumes for adults. These were often modelled by Sheila Zerr and others at nursing events, and mounted as exhibits.
