The collection will feature artifacts surrounding pregnancy, labor, delivery, and pain relief and is intended for education purposes to support research, teaching, or personal enrichment. The intended user is any individual or institution intrested in the beautiful and sometimes dangerous experience of childbirth through the ages and across various cultures.
