Historical items that you've oviously used your portable scanner/camera to document while at a location.
Not sure if classifyidly marking out names kills it but I'm thinking as a general UE rule, smudge the names or personal information.

I was thinking a HIPAA thread would be interesting if patient details were blurred, it amazes me the violations that I see while exploring.

The attic of this house was littered with cancelled checks. The names on them directed me to a neat story and history of the folks who lived there.

You aren't kidding; I did a criminally insane asylum explore recently an, among other things, I found an incident report regarding a patient with self inflicted lacerations on his wrists, and a full biohazard 'sharps' container complete with a few full vials of Ativan nearby.

Definitely. But I remember a news spot about a UE person that posted patient info photos and it resulted in a location(s) being locked down.

Ah yes. Checks seem to be one of the best post-research tools. I too have used them for house occupant back stories.

I will have to scan some stuff in for this thread now when I have a chance. During the final days of the Essex County Overbrook Hospital, I was granted permission to drive on property and load the car up with whatever I desired. The local historian and myself uncovered a pile of original records that date back to 1880's, before "Overbrook" even existed where many explorers know it to be.

I should invest in a portable scanner, I've found a bill of sale for a house from 1906, stacks of cashed checks from the '70s and '80s, and old children's artwork (I know, no pics = no proof  )

Ah yes. A portable scanner is a must in every UE bag.

I don't have a portable scanner (what a great idea) but I'm sure some regular photos will suffice.

This thread is going great. Thanks for all the edge curled, smudgy, faded goodness.
Crazy dates, mookster.

The town of Van Hook, North Dakota is now a ghost town under water. It was inundated when Lake Sakakawea was formed in the 1950s behind Garrison Dam

Posted some of these in another thread during winter. Might be hard to read because my friend and I photographed like sixty of these circa-1948 electro-encephalogram request forms as fast as we could in the damp basement of a psychiatric hospital after a snowstorm in December. I noticed the stack of them purely by accident and thought they were a phone directory lying face-down in the muck at first. Anything appearing to be identifying information has been censored in post. They're also from 1948 so many of these patients have likely since passed. This location is being currently being demolished.
EEG Form #1: This patient underwent fifty-two electroshock therapies by the time this EEG Request came through. This EEG request was part of a prefrontal lobotomy work-up; whether the doctors actually went through with it remains unknown.
EEG Form #2: One of this patient's symptoms is "untidy". This EEG request was part of a prefrontal lobotomy work-up; whether the doctors actually went through with it remains unknown.
EEG Form #3: This patient was admitted in 1926 and was still there in 1948. This EEG request was part of a prefrontal lobotomy work-up; whether the doctors actually went through with it remains unknown.
EEG Form #4: This patient was admitted in 1928 at only 8 years old and was still there in 1948. At one point she attempted to murder an infant.
There are many more but these four get the point across.
