The Maternity Center Association, now Childbirth Connection was founded in 1918 as a North American not-for-profit organization to improve the quality of maternity care through research, education, advocacy, and demonstration of maternity innovations. In 1939 the Association sponsored a major exhibition of sculptures of the childbirth process by Robert Latou Dickinson and Abram Belskie at the 1939-40 World's Fair.

História do arquivo
The book was given as a gift to the Queen's Nurse-Midwives which were part of Queen Victorias Jubilee Institute for Nurses established in 1889 to provide District Nurse training across the UK. The name of the Institute was changed to the Queens Institute of District Nursing in 1928 and to the Queens Nursing Institute in 1973. Nurses have not trained at the Institute since 1968, but the Institute continues to support community nurses in any specialty with project funding, professional development, information networks, financial and personal assistance, and works to influence national policy affecting nurses in primary care.
