So much has changed in the past few months. With the holidays and elections behind us, we now have a new President, a new Congress, and a new vaccine. What has not changed is our need to be diligent and safe. It was a year ago in March that the COVID-19 virus became a world pandemic and over the past year, we have adjusted to wearing masks, social distancing, and using new technologies. It has been a difficult year for everyone. The lack of travel and visits to and from friends and family became infrequent or stopped completely and the general isolation has caused an increase in anxiety and depression for many. As an organization, we have embraced virtual meetings and many of our members have found ways to stay in touch and to reach out to others while maintaining community involvement. I wish to extend my
sincere thanks to everyone. Read More

Memorabilia Program
Beginning in 1987, NNCA housed the Memorabilia Collection at the Memorabilia Center in Port Orchard, Washington. In 2014, the NNCA Board of Directors decided to relocate the Memorabilia and Oral History Collections to History Associates Incorporated’s storage facility in Rockville, Maryland, for long-term storage and management.
NNCA Chapter members and NNCA members-at-large within each Chapter catchment area are requested to contact the corresponding Chapter Memorabilia Representative for assistance with donating items to the Memorabilia collection. Read more
Oral History Project
The Oral History Collection is comprised of audio and video recordings and associated documentation relating to interviewed Nurse Corps Officers. The first recordings date back to 1989, when Doris M. Sterner began collecting and managing the oral histories of Navy Nurses as research for her book, “In and Out of Harm’s Way.” Click here if you would like to conduct or participate in an Oral History interview.
