Under One Roof
back to previous page
A History of Waikato Hospital
Commissioned by the Waikato Health Memorabilia Trust in 2007, Under One Roof provides a comprehensive history of Waikato Hospital from its inception in 1887 until the year 2000.
The book draws upon archival sources and interviews with long-serving staff members to map the institution’s development within a range of historical contexts. In particular, it emphases the institution’s rapid growth during the second half of the twentieth century, and the ramifications of that growth in financial, material, and personal terms.
Under One Roof will be of interest to anyone who has worked at Waikato Hospital, or who has an interest in the history of health or of the Waikato region.
The book is 518 pages in length and includes 53 black and white photographs.
