Ergebnisse und Empfehlungen des Provenienzforschungsprojektes
No full textDer Wissenschaftshistoriker Michael Markert untersuchte von 08/2017 bis 07/2019 die Herkunft der 430 Schnittserien menschlicher Embryonen und Föten in der sogenannten „Humanembryologischen Dokumentationssammlung Blechschmidt“. Diese Präparate waren Grundlage für das wissenschaftliche Lebenswerk des Anatomen Erich Blechschmidt (1904-1992), der von 1942 bis 1974 das Anatomische Institut der Universität Göttingen leitete. Aufgabe des gemeinsam von Zentraler Kustodie, Zentrum Anatomie und Medizinischer Fakultät finanzierten Projektes war es, eine umfassende Dokumentation der Schnittserien, ihrer Gewinnung, Integration in die Sammlung und nicht zuletzt Nutzung vorzulegen. Der vorliegende Text bündelt die zentralen Projektergebnisse.From 08/2017 to 07/2019 historian of science Michael Markert did research on the provenance of the 430 series of microscopic slides of human embryos and fetuses that are part of the “Human Embryology Collection” at the Centre of Anatomy of the University of Göttingen. The collection was built up by Erich Blechschmidt (1904 to 1992), head of the Anatomical Institute from 1942 to 1972. Blechschmidt himself never gave minute and specific information on the acquisition of the specimens. The purpose of the conducted research project was to examine all relevant archival evidence on the specimens, their sourcing, integration into the collection and use for research and education. This document is a synopsis of the project outcome

The Biography of Specimen "09.04.1954, 3.4 mm" from the "Blechschmidt Collection of Human Embryos" at Göttingen University with a Special Focus on the Production and Usage of Enlarged 3D Replicas of Embryos in the Anatomical Research on Human Embryos
No full textThe "Blechschmidt Collection of Human Embryos" housed at the Anatomical Institute of Göttingen University (Germany) is an important historical collection of human embryo specimens whose history dates back up to the mid-1940s. It is named after its founder Prof. Erich Blechschmidt (1904-1992). A 2-year research project was conducted from 2017 to 2019 with the aim of clarifying the provenience of the human embryo specimens collected by Blechschmidt. This project not only has provided information on the origin of the specimens but, additionally, led to the discovery of photographic documents illustrating the process by which Blechschmidt built the enlarged 3-dimensional replicas of human embryos that are shown in a dedicated exhibition hall in the basement of the Anatomical Institute. Here, we report on an embryo from the Blechschmidt collection whose biography as a microscopical specimen as well as a source for objects of Blechschmidt's collection of 3-dimensional replicas of human embryos is documented by letters, lab-books, and photographs. Our report is complemented by a short historical review on the production and usage of enlarged 3-dimensional replicas in research on the anatomy of human embryo
