Summary

While there have been many research texts in the nursing literature, and nursing history is both taught in courses and of popular interest to practicing nurses, there has never been a hands-on text that describes the process of doing historical research in nursing. This book, contributed by well-known and respected nurse historians, will provide the necessary direction, guidance, and examples needed to conduct historical research. It will cover such topics as historiography, biographical research, using artifacts in historical research, doing archival and other data searches, doing international historical research, and locating funding sources for historical research. Case studies are used throughout to illustrate various methods and describe how, why, when, and where historical research is used in nursing.
