Speakers in this fast-paced session describe their experiences dealing with unusual materials found in collections, including nitrate negatives, medications, live radium, and human remains. Although some of these materials were intentionally collected by the panelists’ institutions, many were found unexpectedly while sorting through boxes. Presenters discuss various aspects of caring for these materials, including preservation, disaster planning, and safety, legal, and ethical considerations.
