Dr. Bernhard Weinberger (1885-1960), an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, class of 1910 and a specialist in orthodontics, was a faculty at NYU Dentistry from 1923-1931 as lecturer and later professor in History of Dentistry. Part of his famous collection of rare books ended up at New York University College of Dentistry shortly befare his death. For decades, the collection was forgotten. Now, with the help of technology we started a project of digitization. The current paper is an effort to take a full inventory of the collection, catalogue the titles, condition, discrepancies and missing books and take a digital photo of the cover page, and to create a digital platform to showcase highlights of this collection worldwide with features that include photos, blogs, digital content and links to outside resources. The ultimate goal is to digitize at least 20% (about 200) of the books in the collection. Access the collection at https://dental.nyu.edu/ aboutus/rare-book-collection.html.
