The A.W. Ward Museum of Dentistry was founded in 1974 in honor of one of the school's early graduates and a pioneer of surgical periodontics, Abraham Wesley Ward, P&S Class of 1902. Since its inception, the collection has grown from in-kind donations, made primarily by alums. Most of the artifacts date from the mid-1800s to mid-1900s. For the development of future displays, the Ward Museum gratefully accepts donations of objects such as dentures, instruments, toothbrushes and other small period pieces, and of school-related memorabilia, photographs and documents.

Students, researchers and dental professionals interested in studying the collections may contact Dr. Dorothy Dechant, museum curator, at 415.929.6627 or ddechant@pacific.edu.听
