Travailler aupr ès des familles indigentes : les gardes-malades catholiques à l'avant-garde de la santé communautaire au Canada (1934-1959).

We present the Bulletins as agents of resistance to a science perceived as being devoid of morality, in the face of a growing administrative technocracy seen as detrimental to human beings' living conditions. These sources allow us to give a different interpretation to nurses' contribution to the modernization of care given to the poorest families. We contend that it is French-speaking Catholic nurses who, beyond institutions and inspired by personalism, developed and laid the groundwork for community health in Canada.
