Preserving History with a Focus on the Future
The Adopt-A-Specimen Initiative focuses on the conservation and preservation of UTMB's anatomical, pathological and surgical specimen collections.
These unique wet, dry and wax specimens date back to the late nineteen centery and are in danger of deterioration if not carefully maintained.
This initiative is an opportunity to support the care of these collections to include environmental monitoring, conservation, and purchase of preservation supplies.
Lead gifts have already been made by members of the Old Red Medical Museum Task Force and the Friends of Old Red.
