Texas Woman’s University in Denton has something special to celebrate: the acquisition of a Florence Nightingale Collection, the university recently announced. The addition marks a meaningful milestone for TWU, which has long been recognized as a leader in nursing and health sciences education.

The Florence Nightingale Collection brings historically significant materials to TWU’s holdings, enriching the university’s academic resources and honoring the legacy of the founder of modern nursing. For students, faculty, and researchers in TWU’s health sciences programs, the collection represents an exciting new primary source for study and inspiration.

TWU’s acquisition underscores the university’s ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating the history of nursing and women’s contributions to healthcare — a fitting addition to a campus that has championed women in the professions for generations. The announcement was reported by North Texas e-News.

Denton residents and members of the broader North Texas academic community are encouraged to watch for more details from TWU about how the collection will be made accessible to students and the public.
