Each incoming cadaver was assigned a sequential registry number by the Medical School. These numbers are recorded in a series of ledgers beginning with number 1 on March 7, 1881 and ending with number 20,000 which was received on July 22, 1974. This first series, Anatomical Materials Register, consists of nine bound ledgers and four loose leaf post binders that cover the period from 1881 to 1974. Although the information contained in the ledgers varies over time, these records typically include name, age, date of death, cause of death, and method of shipment. Occasionally the names of physicians and relatives are supplied as is information on the disposition of the body. The entries are generally chronological although delays in shipping the cadaver may translate into a juxtaposition of the chronology.
