Conservation of Temporal Bone Collections

Many human temporal bone collections in the United States are currently inactive.  Some of these are of great value, but are at risk of being discarded or lost, as facilities reorganize their space.  The Registry seeks to identify and conserve such at-risk collections that have potential value for research and training.  The Registry serves a broker for the transfer of these collections and associated histopathologic and clinical records to an active laboratory where they could be more fully utilized.
