Comments

In 1960, following Dr. Dow's death, the University of Texas Dental Branch (UTDB) Library purchased his collection of dental books and journals.

In 2010, Dr. Dow’s collection and other historical books on dentistry were transferred from the University of Texas Dental Branch to The TMC Library. It is presumed that the correspondence and other materials in this small archival collection accompanied the larger book collection.
