If you would like to join a networking email group related to dental history, then this is the one. There is no chat feature at this time and it is only open to those who sign up. It is ONLY for non-commercial use. Collectors, Members of American Academy of the History of Dentistry, Historians, Librarians, Dental Students, Museum staff, Dentists and Dental Hygienists, Dental School staff and Faculty, and those with a curiosity about the history of dentistry are just a few of the types of people who have joined or might want to join this group. We are a relatively quiet group and you might see a message once a month on average.

Examples of appropriate use: share or query others for information on dental artifacts and history; alert others about new publications, lectures, or meetings and workshops related to history of dentistry; share information about websites or projects that involve dental collections and history. You may have some other ideas.

Here's the link to get started.
