National Library of Medicine | NLM Visible Proofs Exhibition (Audio Described Version) @NLMNIH | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
One of the NLM’s most popular exhibitions, Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body, closed on February 25, 2008.
Visible Proofs depicted the history of forensic medicine, and how over the centuries, physicians, surgeons, and other professionals struggled to develop scientific methods that translated views of bodies and body parts into “visible proofs” that judges, juries, and the public could accept as valid.
A series of online activities included: Medical Views, which explored the world of the medical examiner; anthropological views, which showed forensic anthropologists at work; and Technological Views, which offered insights into the scientific and technological advances of forensic analysis.
Resources for students, teachers, and forensic professionals further complemented the history, people, science, and technology of forensics. A K-12 bibliography of fiction and non-fiction books gave short descriptions and recommended grade levels, and list several educational videos. A list of radio interviews and Web links provided additional pathways for exploring the subject.
