The Lindsay Society for the History of Dentistry

Founder Mr McAuley
Parent organization
 British Dental Association

The Lindsay Society is a constituent society of the British Dental Association dedicated to the study of dental history.[1]

Origins

The society was started as The Lindsay Club in 1962.[2] The club was named after Lilian Lindsay the first woman to qualify as a dentist in the UK and a president of the British Dental Association.[3] The formation of the Lindsay Club was the brainchild of a dental surgeon Mr McAuley who was interested in history and had been a friend of Mrs Lindsay and was inspired by his membership of the Osler Club of London.[2] The first meeting of the Lindsay club was held in October 1962 two years after Mrs Lindsay died.

Meetings

The Lindsay Society holds meetings at the British Dental Association headquarters in Wimpole Street London and an annual meeting each year usually in the home town of the current president. There is an annual Lilian Lindsay memorial lecture each year at annual British Dental Association conference. The society is affiliated to the British Society for the History of Medicine.[2]

Dental Historian

The society publishes the Dental Historian twice yearly in January and July which contains articles related to the history of dentistry.[4]
