CA NL0001 012 · Fonds · 1978-1991

As part of its mandate, HSIMS (Health Sciences Information and Media Service, formerly called Medical Audio Visual Services [MAVS]) created many videocassettes for the Medical School after its formation and made them available as teaching aids, public awareness tools and medical learning resources for students, staff and faculty. They were written, produced, directed and designed by the staff of HSIMS and also involved students, staff and faculty from Memorial and affiliated teaching hospitals in the St. John’s area. They were retained in the HSIMS storage area in the Health Sciences Centre.

The videocassettes cover the many projects and subjects worked on by HSIMS during the years 1978-1991, including community activities, health education, outreach to youth, and many other topics dealing with medicine and the provision of health care in Newfoundland and Labrador.

CA NL0001 015 · Fonds · 1973-1999

As the Faculty of Medicine begins a new academic year of instruction, it is compulsory that photographs be taken of each class of students. The First year medical students, Second Years, Third Years, Fourth Years, and Interns and Residents have their photographs taken. The effort is organized by the Office of Student Affairs and the pictures are disseminated for the benefit of the Faculty, staff and administration of the Medical School. It not only allows for the identification of students according to their current year of study in the Medical Sciences but also provides a record of past graduating classes and numbers of physicians who have enrolled in and graduated from the Medical School at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Fonds contains photographs of Medical students from years 1973-1999 and a small number of photographs of Nursing Students covering the years 1981-1982. Fonds is composed of the following series, each corresponding with the date of the class of students:

1.0 Medical Students, 1974-1999
2.0 Nursing Students, 1981-1982
