The ''Nursing Journal of India'' (Nurs J India) began publishing in 1912. It would be expected there would be mention of many individual nurses in the Journals. The [[British Library]] has the ''Nursing Journal of India'' from December 1926 (with a few scattered editions prior to this) to February 1939 and Cambridge University Library has an incomplete holding from 1935 to 1989. The Royal College of Nursing Archives in Edinburgh (refer [[Nurse#Other Libraries and Archives|section]] below) believes they have early issues of this Journal (or they can obtain them) but they are not in the computerised catalogue at present.
