Adrienne,

I wonder if you've contacted Johnson & Johnson, who makes Band-Aids.  Their
web site is http://www.johnsonandjohnson.com/home.html  They have an
impressively detailed company history printed and among their numerous
international offices, they list six in Australia.  It seem to me it's
highly likely they have a company museum and perhaps a company
historian/curator.  I wouldn't be surprised at all that if you contact them
and explain your purpose, they would give or lend you many items for your
display as well as provide more company and Band-Aid history.  Good luck.

Now a question to the group.  Am I the only person on Museum-L who, when
sending a message to the group, has it show up on everyone's machine but my
own?
