Humananatomische Präparate / Human Anatomical Preparations: Geschichte, Herstellungstechniken und Ethik in der Konservierung / History, Manufacturing Techniques and Ethics in Conservation

Human anatomical and pathological preparations have been serving science, rese­arch, and education for centuries. By means of continually improved and sometimes elaborate manufacturing techniques increasingly sophisticated and durable preparations have been created. Collections of these items, established and expanded over centuries in European science centres are invaluable today. However, the state of their conservation is often precarious. The volume comprises the lectures given on an international symposium of the same title at Dresden (Germany) in November, 2022. Aim of the conference was to discuss and to present approaches to ethically adequate preservation and professional conservation of human anatomical and pathological preparations.
