Dead Objects: A Preliminary List for Discussion and Research

This is where we accumulate dead objects that we plan to discuss and resarch. This list will soon include links and pictures. The Obituaries Blog develops our research on this list as we begin to do individual research projects on our chosen objects. Each member of the Autopsies Group has chosen between one and three objects for our initial research projects. Research Affiliates are invited to chose one object. Please send us ideas for our list or let us know if you are doing research on one of these objects or have written something that we can link on our website.
