Hi. Have you tried the Mutter Museum at the College of Physicians in
Philadelphia - http://www.collphyphil.org/mutter.asp or the Museum of
Funeral Customs in Springfield, Illinois -
http://www.funeralmuseum.org/index-2.html If they don't have what you are
looking for they could likely point you in the right direction. Good luck
with your project.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Bean Bower

Amy;
Having worked/volunteered in a hospice for the last 11 years I can tell you
that they haven't changed much. What has changed is the additional
'wrapping'/sheeting used for patients that were contagious and the weight of
these 'transport pouches'.
I would suggest a hospital library, they might have some of their old
financial records from their suppliers so you can get catalog numbers or you
might want to contact a couple of suppliers an example would be
http://www.medicalproducts.com/ they have sales contact personnel.
Many older well established funeral homes may also be of help.
Hope that helps a little.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] 1960s body bag image needed
Hello,
One of our students is working on her senior fine arts project
regarding Kennedy's assassination. Toward that end, she needs to
find an image of the appropriate era body bag. We have looked for
forensic and mortuary science museums or collections and internet
image searches without much luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
(She will be in Philadelphia and New York this summer, if that would
help.)
Many thanks,
Amy Naughton
