The Dahlgren Papers uniquely concern Anna Dahlgren's career and experiences with the missionary and nursing program at the Iloilo Mission Hospital, Panay, the Philippines in 1920-1921. Surviving correspondence traces her application to the missionary program, the logistics of service, and also includes letters from colleagues and acquaintances she made during her time in the Pacific. Very little information concerns medical cases or functions of the hospital and training school, and a diary Dahlgren kept is mostly limited to outlines of her travels. Publications dating some years after her service provide a historical context for the mission hospital program. All of this documentary material frames the most significant component of the papers, which is a collection of contemporary photographs taken by Dahlgren. Subjects include the hospital compound itself, nurses and medical staff, nursing students and classes, views of cities, landscapes, and events, and a variety of Philippine peoples in native dress. A period postcard collection also offers scenes of Philippine culture.
