The curation of human mummified remains is discussed from the point of view of the paleopathologist. The preservation of a body (and samples) after its study involves: (1) The type of mummification process used, and the deterioration since (taphonomy); (2) Method of study utilized (radiology and/or non-destructive autopsy: maximizes information, minimizes damage); (3) Individualized restoration; and (4) Storage (including samples and documents): environment and pest-barriers. Finally, the respect that each human body deserves is emphasized, as well as the laws and beliefs of each nation. Some examples are given from Perú and the United States. © 2007 Universidad de Tarapacá.
