List of Human Remains in the Collection of the British Museum
TL;DR — 116 pages itemising every human body part the British Museum holds — the inventory behind every repatriation argument, published and almost never read.
Version 3.0, August 2010. Not a policy document despite the filename — an itemised inventory, department by department, of human remains held by the British Museum.
This is the genre the Washington Post piece is about, in its purest form: a document of obvious public importance, published openly, and read by almost nobody. Every argument about repatriation of remains — who holds what, from where, acquired how — runs through the facts in this file, and the file is a 116-page PDF on a museum’s website.
Its usefulness is exactly its dullness. It is a list. The list is the evidence.
