London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) has officially donated 152 boxes of historical records to Western University, preserving 150 years of local healthcare history in a public archive.
The materials, which date back to the late 1800s, include handwritten letters, photographs, documents, and artifacts from the region’s earliest hospitals, such as South Street Hospital, the Beck Sanatorium, and the War Memorial Children’s Hospital. They also contain records from Victoria and University Hospitals, as well as one of the earliest nursing training schools.
