Dental Instruments: Past and Present
The online Dental Instruments: Past and Present digital collection is made possible by a National Network of Libraries of Medicine grant awarded in Summer 2017 to Stony Brook University Librarians: Kathleen Kasten, Head of Humanities and Social Sciences; Jamie Saragossi, Head of the Health Sciences Library; and Shafeek Fazal, Associate Dean for Library Technology, Discovery, and Digital Initiatives. The works contained within this collection are the final products of a joint collaboration between the Stony Brook University Health Sciences Library, Library Information Technology, and the Preservation Department. The project was conducted during the Spring 2015 academic semester, and its goal was to create a digital exhibit based on the Dental Instruments: Past and Present exhibit on display in the Health Sciences Library by digitizing images, text, and objects. The physical exhibit went on display at the Health Sciences Library in 2014 and is composed of items from several collections, including: The Mills Collection, the collection of Dr. Allan Kucine, the Baer Collection (held at the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine), as well as items provided by the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and a copy of The long climb: From barber-surgeons to doctors of dental surgery, donated by the author, Philias Garant, DDS, Professor Emeritus at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. This digital collection represents the items on view in the physical collection, complemented by a bibliography, educational references, and explanatory texts.Date: 2018
