Title: Harvard School of Dental Medicine Buildings, Grounds and Interiors. Images, ca. 1883-1965.
Quantity:
121 images.
Abstract: This finding aid describes photographs, negatives, slides, and photomechanical prints of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine's physical plant including the interiors and exteriors of buildings and the campus grounds. Go directly to images.
Photographs in this finding aid constitute two series of images from an artificial collection assembled in the 1960s from the holdings of the Harvard Medical Library and the Boston Medical Library. The photographs are now housed at the Center for the History of Medicine in Countway Library. Images were acquired individually or removed from manuscript or archival collections and filed by subject. Because of this practice, the provenance of many of the images has been lost.
Processed and described by Virginia Hunt, Janurary 2006. Selected information from the image collections management database at the Center for the History of Medicine in Countway Library was exported for inclusion in this finding aid. Formal titles for photographs are used when supplied, otherwise, descriptive titles were created and enclosed in brackets. When possible, images are described as groups rather than individually and representative images selected for viewing on-line. 'Identical' images may vary in condition and the presence or absence of inscriptions or mounts. Location number includes size. Images are small (S = 8 x 10 inches or less), medium (M = greater than 8 x 10 inches and less than 11 x 14 inches), large (L = greater than 11 x 14 inches and less than 16 x 20 inches), extra large (XL = greater than 16 x 20 inches), color slides (CS = 35 mm.), or glass plates (G = up to 4 x 5 inches). A few images have also been cataloged more fully in VIA, Harvard's on-line image database.
Online access to larger views of some thumbnails is restricted by copyright and may be available only to Harvard ID holders. For more information please see the
Copyright and Permissions Statement on the OASIS home page.
Original images are available for research use at the Center for the History of Medicine. Retrieval requires advance notice. There may be restrictions on access to some materials. Consult the Public Services Librarian for further information.
The Harvard Medical Library and the Boston Medical Library may not hold copyright on
all items. Requests for permission to publish
images should be directed to the Reference
Librarian. Researchers who obtain permission to publish from the
Public Services Librarian are responsible for identifying and contacting
the persons or organizations that hold copyright.
Reference Services and Access Information.
This finding aid was produced as part of a
Library Digital Initiative (LDI) grant project. To provide increased access to visual collections, the LDI project staff described approximately 4500 historical images of Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Harvard School of Public Health, and the Boston Medical Library in a series of OASIS finding aids. Of the images described in these finding aids, 1600 were digitized, stored in the Harvard Digital Repository (DRS), and are viewable online. To provide historical context, the finding aids also include links to digitized pages of Harvard annual reports in the Harvard-Radcliffe Online Historical Reference Shelf.
This finding aid describes photographs, negatives, slides, and photomechanical prints of Boston Medical Library officers, librarians, members, events, library materials, and buildings. Images depict building exteriors at 5 Hamilton Place, 19 Boylston Place, and 8 The Fenway; interior views of 19 Boylston Place and 8 The Fenway; events and meetings; and library materials including books, book plates, and library catalogs. Unless noted all images are black and white.
Images are organized by subject into 2 series, then within each series organized by location or subject into 7 subseries. Within subseries similar photographs are organized into image groups. Series are arranged alphabetically, subseries are arranged chronologically, and image groups are arranged alphabetically. Within image groups individual images are arranged chronologically by date of original image represented. N.B.: Image display may be affected by your choice of browser.

Series 00115: Harvard School of Dental Medicine buildings and grounds. Images,
ca. 1883-1965.
61 images.
Historical Note: The first university-based dental school in the country, Harvard Dental School was founded in 1867. It was also the first to be established in close affiliation with a medical school (Harvard Medical School) and to make the full scholarly and scientific resources of a university available to dental education.
President's Report, 1959-1960.
In 1940, under President James B. Conant, the School was reorganized as Harvard School of Dental Medicine to place stronger emphasis on the biological basis of oral medicine and to institute multidisciplinary programs of dental research. A unique feature of the curriculum placed dental students in joint classes with medical students for two years of basic science and pathophysiology and for an introduction to clinical medicine on the wards of Harvard teaching hospitals and in community health centers.
