The University of Washington's Burke Museum (natural history and anthropology) is planning a exhibit of Washington State meteorites next year. Unfortunately, none of these meteorites are in the museum's permanent collection. We need to find them and arrange a temporary loan. If any of you meteorphiles know where the main mass, slices, thin sections or historic photos are for the following meteorites, I would appreciate knowing:
Albion IVA iron
Colton IIIAB iron
Tacoma IAB iron
Washougal howardite
Waterville IIICD iron
Withrow IIIAB? iron
(Ignore the Kirkland fraudulent meteorite which turned out to be Canyon Diablo)
Attached is a brief table with more details on these six meteorites.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
