Historical Note

The Tacoma College of Dental Surgery moved to Portland in 1899 and changed its name in August (after the announcement for the 1899-1900 school year had been printed) to the North Pacific Dental College. It opened in a house on the corner of N.W. 15th and Couch. In 1900, it merged with the year-old Oregon College of Dentistry, keeping the name North Pacific Dental College. In 1908 it was renamed North Pacific College. The College moved to a newly completed building at N.E. 6th and Oregon in 1911. It underwent another name change in 1924 to North Pacific College of Oregon. In 1945 it joined the Oregon State System of Higher Education (OSSHE) and changed its name to University of Oregon Dental School. The School moved up to Marquam Hill in 1956 where it remained until relocating to a new building on the South Waterfront in summer of 2014. It changed its name again in 1974 to University of Oregon Health Sciences Center School of Dentistry and then again in 1981 to OHSU School of Dentistry.

Additional Description

Abstract

The Dental School has given us the portrait collection of the Dental Alumni Association from 1962-2014.

Arrangement

The portraits are aligned chronologically in 2 large storage boxes and one large artifact box. The last was used because the latest portrait is larger than those previous, and would not fit in a storage box.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Marc Kemball, Alumni Affairs.
