Archives of Australia, National Library of Australia,
University of Sydney, Inner West Libraries, the Royal
Australasian College of Physicians History of Medicine
Library and Fairfax Media.

There are many moments to celebrate as we reflect on
the extraordinary 14 decades since Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital opened its doors.
The stories include the building of RPA – but importantly
too, the lives of our patients, staff and visitors and
partners. There are advances in medicine, science and
technology and significant moments in world history
reflected in the curated images.
