Preserving the Legacy of Otology
In the early 20th century, Otology (ENT) Departments across the United States established temporal bone histopathology laboratories.
These innovations were inspired by European prototypes and became integral to understanding the anatomy and physiology of the human ear.
However, as time progressed, many of these laboratories closed, leaving behind invaluable archival collections in need of attention.
Our Mission
The Labyrinthine Archival Restoration Project-NFP is a non-profit dedicated to analyzing, digitizing, and restoring the archival collections of these University laboratories.
Our goal is to ensure that these precious resources continue to serve educational & research purposes.
What We Do
Contribute To a Lasting Legacy
Your donations directly support our efforts to analyze, digitize, and restore critical archival materials that continue to influence the field of ear anatomy & hearing disease research.
Join Us in Our Journey
Since our inception, we have collaborated with 5 universities across the United States, with our network continuously expanding.
If your university possesses a collection of unassessed archival materials, we urge you to contact us at 312 838 7682.
Our organization offers complimentary shipping & handling to facilitate the safe transfer of your specimens to our care.
