Class Photographs Collection at the Sindecuse Museum

Between 1992 and 1995, the University’s Dentistry Library transferred the collection of original Dentistry and Dental Hygiene graduating class photographs to the museum. 

The museum began the project of digitizing this collection when the graduating class photo displays in the Dentistry Building were being updated in 2009.

A total of 133 School of Dentistry and 69 Dental Hygiene class images were digitized for the museum. Copies of these digital files were sent to the Bentley Historical Library to make them accessible online.

The museum continues to collect and archive this series of photographs and will forward new additions of this digital series to the Bentley Historical Library.

The School of Dentistry History webpage at the Bentley Historical Library includes:
