Named in memory of an alumnus and beloved Baltimore community pharmacist, this beautiful space in Pharmacy Hall contains historical items of importance to the pharmacy profession and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP), such as unique glass bottles, jars, paper prescriptions, advertisements, and other artifacts donated by alumni. Among the items on display are the diplomas of UMSOP graduates Alpheus Sharp (Class of 1842) and Louis Dohme (Class of 1857), who co-founded the company Merck, Sharp, and Dohme.
The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy appreciates donations to the Joseph U. Dorsch Sr., BSP ’39, Pharmacy Museum. Due to an influx of donations from our generous alumni and supporters, we are not currently accepting additional items.
For any questions, please contact Greer Griffith at ggriffith@rx.umaryland.edu.
The School of Pharmacy reserves the right to add to our collection only those items that meet our current needs due to space limitations. Donations must meet the following criteria and be approved by the School prior to drop off:
- Must be dropped off at the School of Pharmacy

- Preference is given to items from graduates of the School of Pharmacy
Gifts not added to our collection may be donated to other pharmacy organizations or safely disposed of at the School’s discretion.
