Abstract

The historical collection covers the history of dentistry in the United States and Western Europe. It is housed in a closed stack area on the third level of the library. Some of the rare books are kept in secure cases on the first level. SERVICES: Selective interlibrary loan and photocopying, and reference questions dealing with holdings.

 
Holdings

Holdings consist of monographs and serials, theses, letters and personal manuscripts, dental catalogs, and directories. Of particular interest: most of the rare early books on dentistry; S.S. White Dental Manufacturing Company catalogs; emphasis on the life and work of Thomas W. Evans. Please note: Many of the more delicate items have been moved to the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library of the University of Pennsylvania's Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center.
