Research Facts
Dr Ralph and Mrs Olga Crawford donated their extensive Canadian dental collection to the DCF to create the museum in 1997; further donations were received while Dr Crawford was Curator Emeritus at the Dental Canada Museum until its closure in 2008; this item was owned by R.C. Woodley, originally from Belleville, Ontario; he is listed in the directory as a freshman living at 131 Brunswick Avenue in Toronto; the Royal College of Dental Surgeons was founded in 1868 with the first dental act adopted anywhere in the world; a dental school was opened in 1875, with degrees (D.D.S.) granted from the University of Toronto beginning in 1888; in 1925 the school fully joined the university as the Faculty of Dentistry, currently the largest dental school in Canada
