[Nhcoll-l] Restoration of Educational Human Skeleton

[Mary Hunter]

Hello,

My name is Mary Hunter and I am a professor of nursing at Emporia State University. We have a human skeleton that has been used for education in our school for many years. We are moving buildings soon, and I am hoping to find a way to make sure that the donation of this individual is honored long-term. The skeleton has been used for quite a while, and we would like to restore her as well as re-articulating the pieces that have come off. This is not an area that any of our faculty have expertise in, so I am looking for help and guidance wherever I can find it. Do you have any input into what my next steps should be? I've included a photo of the skeleton being used in the classroom in the past, as well as a few photos of what she looks like today.


Thank you in advance for your help.
