The History of Nursing and Health Knowledge Study Group linked to the Graduate Nursing Program at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, has been producing knowledge on this subject over the past 15 years. This documentary study presents an assessment of the group's master's theses and doctoral dissertations conducted between 1995 and 2010. A total of 23 master's theses and 12 doctoral dissertations were developed. The group has contributed on many fronts, whether with scientific production that embodies innovative content taught to students, or with the dissemination of its studies' results, which gives greater visibility to its members translates into invitations for them to participate in scientific events and on editorial boards. There is a need to move toward greater integration with other research groups in the field of history and sensitize the academic community to the importance of nursing history.

As we celebrate the Year of the Nurse and Midwife marking Florence Nightingale’s 200th birthday, it has never been more appropriate to commemorate the advent of professional nursing education. Historical research as a discipline is growing, and contributions are necessary in order to build our collective professional archive. This article addresses the importance of preserving nursing history for the purposes of reflection, education, and understanding its relevance to today’s practice. Within we offer background information about one large teaching institution and an example of this hospital’s efforts to preserve its institutional history. To prepare for the celebration of the hospital’s 200th anniversary, three entities joined forces to support this effort by forming a dedicated nursing history committee. We describe the process of convening the committee and its purpose and provide exemplars of its robust outcomes to preserve and promote nursing history. Our conclusion includes a call to action for others to consider this model as a roadmap for replication.
