Donald H. Enlow Digital Image Library

Dr. Donald H. Enlow, author of numerous papers and books on the growth and organization of bone, including how they relate to human facial development and dentistry, has donated one of the world’s largest bone histology collections to the Hard Tissue Research Unit, NYUCD. This collection has been, and remains still, an inspiration to fields of dentistry, bone biology, paleontology, and anthropology. 2006 marks the 50th anniversary of his initial publication, which is even now a seminal reference in comparative bone biology and paleontology. To mark this occasion NYUCD is making this collection publicly accessible on the Internet, and to that end, with cooperation from Aperio Technologies, we have begun to digitally scan and provide here a small portion of the estimated 100,000 sections.

We believe that this histology collection will stimulate new research initiatives, heralding the integrative approach that defines the state of the art presently enjoyed by the health and basic sciences. We respectfully request that you become a partner in our efforts to preserve Dr. Enlow’s legacy, to highlight its contributions, and to learn from this unique resource housed here at NYUCD. To support conservation efforts and the addition of more slides to the digital image library, please consider a tax-deductible gift to NYUCD; contact the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs, 345 East 24th Street, New York, NY 10010 (Phone: +1 212 998 9824; Fax: +1 212 995 3995)
