Subject: Policy and procedures for historic medicines
In an effort to develop our own internal policies and procedures, we are seeking sample policies and procedures from other museums who have established guidelines for handling, storage, accountability, and proper labeling of historic medicines/pharmaceuticals (controlled and uncontrolled substances), medical kits, and medical instruments (containing sharp components, needles, mercury, or biological fluids). Samples for other government (especially military) entities are especially sought.
