Canadian tackles COVID-19 in New Zealand
Kia Ora! Wow! What a cracker of a year “down under” with the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). I had left Nova Scotia in July 2019 and headed to NZ for a “working holiday,” as an Occupational Health Nurse at RNZAF Base Woodbourne, a key recruit and air trades training base, on the South Island, where I soon discovered there were lots of fun words to learn.

PHOTOS OBTAINED THRU GRANT
The Association Health Sciences Archives & Museums of NS's (AHSAMNS) mandate from 2009, is to secure space for the first 'Health Sciences Archives & Museum' in Eastern Canada. It would be an outstanding education and research base with the number of artifacts and historical documents that are presently collected in basements of medical personnel and certainly with the VGH School of Nursing Archives, Bethune building and the Medical History Society Archives, Abby Lane building.
After struggling for many years on the above mentioned mandate, the Board decided to proceed with another important project: "To digitalize a selected number of artifacts within the two above mentioned archives".
Having obtained a grant from HRM 'Community Grant Program', the photos of the artifacts, produced by a professional archival photographer, are available on the web sites of AHSAMNS and the VGH Alumni. The AHSAMNS will now make plans for the future application of these photos.
Reminder: the AHSMNS was first organized in 2004 as "Save the Archives" (Bethune building), and as more members from the different health organizations joined the name evolved. It was necessary to expand as the VG Alumni could not approach such a major project alone. Where we go from here - the big question - but the original mandate is still very much 'on the plate'.
