A4 size address book of cases (name / address / disease).

Marked up using the following colour code:

• red: SPAID/OEDA asbestos-related case register
• green: claim no longer proceeding
• brown: pre-employment medical taken little notice of
• blue + pink: claim started + settled – length of time taken

Red notebook, previously used to list history of science literature c.1900-1960. Repurposed to record names, occasionally also addresses, of individuals with some asbestos affiliation (suffering from an asbestos-related disease, related to a victim, worried about asbestos in the home, etc.). It is unclear whether the compilation is based solely on SPAID clients or whether it also includes cases that came to the organisation's attention solely through media reports and similar.

Ordered by first letter of surname.

Board bearing this caption, with four black and white photographs arranged to reproduce one single view through the microscope.

'UICC chrysotile standard' presumably refers to Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) reference chrysotile. Not all types of chrysotile appear to have the same capacity to cause mesothelioma.

Poster of news coverage in response to the proposal to build a private hospital on derelict industrial land on the north bank of the River Clyde between Clydebank and Dalmuir.

The SPAID caption reads: 'Old asbestos waste dumps are a hazard, men wore respirators and protective overalls when clearing Clydebank site where children have played. Thousands of tons of asbestos waste were dumped there during the thirty three years that Turner and Newalls factory operated.'

The hospital complex, a project of Health Care International, opened in June 1994 and incorporated a four star hotel so that family could travel with patients. Reportedly it cost £ 7m to decontaminate the site, which had previously been used by Turner Asbestos Cement (TAC) Co Ltd / TAC Construction Materials Ltd.
