maria kunz in the Cape Archives

I have today found some hours to check documentation on Glen Grey Mission Hospital in the National Archives Repository in Cape Town. And, luckily, I have found material on the 1940s, including yearly reports and reports on hospital inspections by committees.
There is yet a lot to do. Partly because there is not just a history of Maria Kunz, but also of the many trained nurses in the training college. From what I have seen today, the hospital was a training institution for African nurses from it's very beginning and it was from about 1942/43 that it was considered a first class training institution by the South African Medical Council.
Keep tuned while the story grows
