Introduction

There currently exists worldwide only a few large collections of human embryological material. These collections are held in universities and associated research institutions as either whole fixed embryos or more commonly sectioned and histological stained. Many of these collections are historic between 30 to 100 years old. During my 2013 SSP leave I visited the major collections (Kyoto, Berlin, Blechschmidt, Madrid) as well as communicating with curators of some collections I was unable to see (Washington). There have been previous attempts to partially document some of these collections, but the equipment and technology was not sufficiently developed to allow the process to be completed and in some cases the data was restricted in availability.

Blechschmidt Collection – University of Goettingen, Germany Prof. Christoph Viebahn (Head of Embryology Department).
Embryological Collection – Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity. Dr Peter Giere (curator of the embryological collection).
Madrid Collection – Complutense University of Madrid, Institute of Embryology. Prof. José-Vicente Sanz-Casado (Head, Embryology Institute of Complutense University of Madrid).
Carnegie Collection – National Museum of Health and Medicine Elizabeth Lockett (curator NMHM).
Kyoto Collection – Kyoto University, Prof. Shigehito Yamada.
