Biographical Note

The American College of Nurse-Midwifery (ACNM) was incorporated on 7 November 1955 as the professional organization for certified nurse-midwives in the United States. Previous to the establishment of the ACNM, the extent of national organization for nurse-midwives had been limited to a section of the National Organization of Public Health Nurses (NOPHN) in the mid-1940s. When, in the early 1950s, the NOPHN was absorbed into the American Nurse's Association (ANA) and the National League for Nursing (NLN), the nurse-midwives found that there was no central body left available to address the specific needs and concerns of the growing practice of nurse-midwifery. In response, a Committee on Organization, chaired by Sister M. Theophane Shoemaker, was established in 1954 to begin steps toward the creation of the new professional organization. A questionnaire was mailed out, and armed with the responses of some 147 nurse-midwives, the Committee determined to create the ACNM.

The first annual meeting of the American College of Nurse-Midwifery was held on 12-13 November 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri. Hattie Hemschemeyer, then director of the Maternity Center Association School of Nurse-Midwifery, was elected the College's first President. The following year, the ACNM was accepted into the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). In 1969, the College merged with the smaller, regional American Association of Nurse-Midwives to become the American College of Nurse-Midwives, as it is called today. Beginning from a charter membership of 124 nurse-midwives in 1955, the College grew to 850 members in 1975, and numbers over 7000 members, including students, in the year 2000. The College estimates that approximately 87 percent of certified nurse-midwives are members of the ACNM in 2000.

The ACNM began publication of the Bulletin of the American College of Nurse-Midwifery (later the Bulletin of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery) in 1955. The College began publication of its Newsletter (later titled Quickening) in 1965. That year, the ACNM began work as an accrediting organization of educational programs in nurse-midwifery with its first site visit to the New York Medical Center. The American College of Nurse-Midwives Foundation, Inc., was established in 1967 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the practice of nurse-midwifery. In 1971 the ACNM became the national certifying body for Certified Nurse-Midwives, a duty later fulfilled by the distinct ACNM Certification Council.

Divisions and Committees, 1957-1991 4.5 linear feet
	Division and Committee records, which also include other subdivisions of the College such as the ACNM Foundation, the Government Liaison Office, and Regional and Local Chapters, are more targeted, but also more sporadic and less comprehensive in their coverage of each Division or Committee's activities compared to the Board of Directors meeting minutes. The records are organized alphabetically, and arranged chronologically according to their form or function. Much of the correspondence between Committee chairs and the ACNM President or Executive Secretary will be located in the Executive Office series. Divisions are listed first, with the Division of Accreditation (formerly Approval), including the Board of Review and Education Program Self-Evaluation Reports, making up the bulk of the records. Standing Committees are listed next; the Archives, Clinical Practice, Legislative, and Research and Statistics Committees are fairly well documented, with others much less so, including the Political and Economic Affairs Committee records which consist of one letter. Government Liaison Office records include Congressional testimony, correspondence of two liaison officers Sally Tom and Karen Ehrnman, and Tom's "History of Federal Funding of Nurse-Midwifery Education, 1960-1983."

Subject Files, 1980-1986, n.d.
	Subject Files provide some background into areas of special concern to the College, especially the 1985-86 nurse-midwives' malpractice insurance crisis. These subject files are not comprehensive; for example, the insurance crisis is also represented in the Board of Directors Meeting Minutes and the correspondence of President Susan Yates, Executive Director Mary Rita Prah, and Government Liaison Karen Ehrnman. Other subjects include the film on nurse-midwifery Daughters of Time, and the ACNM/ACOG joint statement on practice relationships.
