museum, pathology, histopathology, recoveryAbstract
The scientific value of the collections that houses a museum is of incalculable patrimonial value, which forces its permanent care. The function and importance of any scientific collection implies first understanding the property of the specimens: their unique nature and, on the other hand, the relationship they have with the generation and advancement of scientific knowledge. In the case of collections that are without registration, provenance or diagnosis of their pathology in the Museum of Pathological Anatomy, determines a permanent work. Without the existence of the collections, there would be no opportunity to validate the information, the hypotheses or interpretations derived from the study of the same.
The objective was to recover damaged pieces of museum for diagnosis and subsequent registration.
From a total of 17 macroscopic pieces lacking preservation policies and diagnosis of their pathology, they were recovered based on discarding of the fixing medium, washing with common water, rehydration in several stages, taking of material and procedure histological according to routine techniques.
The recovery and conservation of the 17 macroscopic pieces, allowed to find their diagnoses, their labeling, their registration and start up the museum's laboratory, a teaching-learning space that encourages research and promotes the protection of valuable heritage from the pathology museum.
The decrease in museum collections is due to loss, destruction or disintegration, institutional transfer, exchange, among others. Proceed to their recoveries, value the coding systems and indicate the different records and tools used.
