chemistry nightmare

i am slowly digging my way through my classroom at a college i will be teaching at this fall, and holy smokes is it a time capsule. i reckon the last time it was cleaned out was somewhere around 1954. it has been an absolute gold mine of relics, but a freaking NIGHTMARE of chemicals. fantastic relics include a poster of communist russia around 1971 complete with a charicature of Brezhnev with little devil horns, some sort of physiology machine that has lots of tubes and levers, and a pH machine that is the size of a medium sized television set. pics are soon to be posted. as for the chemicals, i don't know what to do with half the stuff... i found a bottle of something that had a syringe attached to it (what? weird.), about 50 bottles of iodine, and some sort of sleepy potion for Drosophila. the chemical shelves were full of these reddish power and i finally figured out that the powder was from the the metal brackets holding up the shelving-- the metal brackets that are RUSTING AWAY because of all the crazy ass chemicals mixing it up in there. a previously uninvestigated cabinet i opened up today was legitimately shocking. inside was every kind of terrible, powerful acid known to man (including formic, sulfuric, acetic, butyric), all from around 1963 and nestled next to huge vats of formeldehyde. the sulfuric acid "container" was complete rust. underneath all of these terrible chemicals was a bottle of some sort of organs and a huge jar full of very large insects. i'm guessing cicadas. i put stuff in front of it and decided to deal with it later. a room of nightmares and dreamscapes. including a drawer full of fetal pigs. things that belong in drawers: spoons, napkins, socks, shorts. NOT fetal pigs.
