The Granny Midwife Records

Health Information & Archives Research

The Problem: A Black Maternal Health Crisis

Through embodied and written archives, this research will explore the records of the granny midwives and provide a close examination of their record keeping systems. The goal of this work is to examine the relationship between language, knowledge management and health, especially in the era of constant modernization. This research aims to present the granny midwife records and their record keeping systems as data and information in the quest to solve the maternal health crisis.

We are currently connecting with Obstetricians, Midwives, Doulas & Nurses on a national level in order to facilitate inter-professional conversations as well as gathering & synthesizing qualitative research with professionals through surveys and focus groups.
