Good heavens. The SD Dental Society and Board of Examiners are a busy lot. Which begs the question, who besides their members would be even remotely interested in this information? Is there a way to sort these results, or search them more quickly? I did select the access link on one of their listings, and Dental Cosmos contained an article from 1913 about the occupational diseases of dentistry.


I did find a reference to a photo that appeared in Minnesota Reflections. It is thought to (possibly) be a school house in South Dakota circa 1908. The photo features a log shanty with a woman (teacher?) and seven boys standing outside.


Tried to access a letter from Sinclair Lewis to Marcella Powers, but there was an error on the page when I clicked the access link.


I found a 1914 report from the Department of Commerce entitled Census of Manufactures for South Dakota. That was kind of interesting. FirstSearch apparently times you out after 15 minutes.

  1. You do get timed out of WorldCat/FirstSearch if there's no activity after a certain amount of time. You've given a great description of the array of scholarly riches here.
