The Afterlife of the Leiden Anatomical Collections starts where
most stories end: after death. It tells the story of thousands of
body parts kept in bottles and boxes in nineteenth-century Leiden -
a story featuring a struggling medical student, more than one
disappointed anatomist, a monstrous child, and a glorious past.
Hieke Huistra blends historical analysis, morbid anecdotes, and
humour to show how anatomical preparations moved into the hands of
students and researchers, and out of the reach of lay audiences. In
the process, she reveals what a centuries-old collection can teach
us about the future fate of the biobanks we build today.
