CCAHA Senior Paper Conservator Heather Hendry and Mütter Museum Acting Co-Director Anna Dhody discuss a pilot project to treat and digitize one of dozens of recently discovered spindles of pharmacy receipts from the 1920s-40s. The aged spindles are referred to as "shawarmas" for their uncanny resemblance to the rotisserie meat of the same name. Each full spindle represents months of receipts from a neighborhood pharmacy and could provide a rare snapshot of public health in Philadelphia.
