Abstract:

Correspondence and administrative papers of Hartman, superintendent of a Wisconsin tuberculosis sanatorium, documenting her career and involvement in tuberculosis and professional associations. In the early 1920s Iva Hartman was one of the first nurses trained at the Trudeau Sanatorium at Saranac Lake, New York, which was then pioneering in the care of tubercular patients. In 1929 she came to Janesville, Wisconsin as the first superintendent of the Pinehurst Sanatorium. She remained at Pinehurst until her retirement in 1959. Most of the collection deals with national, state, and local tuberculosis associations and the administration of Pinehurst Sanatorium. Among the materials relating to the Sanatorium are correspondence, annual reports, superintendent's reports, patient and staff schedules, and patient records as well as copies of newspaper clippings about Pinehurst and many photos of the Sanitorium and its staff. The tuberculosis and professional association records include some routine correspondence, but are mainly reports and publicity materials.
