SED Yearbook - Oak Ridge, TN - 1945 - This is not the original yearbook which was issued to members of the special engineer detachment at Oak Ridge in late 1945. There were only about 1,500 copies of the original yearbook printed and 90% of these are in the hands of SED veterans and/or their families. An original yearbook goes for as much as $500 and they are seldom seen. You won't even find these in any library as they are very rare. As the largest on-line repository of Manhattan Project primary source documents, our organization has produced a limited number of copies of this 'one-of-a-kind' yearbook. This is a professionally created copy on heavy-weight paper with a spiral binding similar to the original. There are more than 150 pages in this yearbook. What makes this yearbook so sought-after is that it contains the photos of more than 1,200 men who made up the very elite unit of the Special Engineer Detachment. In addition to the photos, the work assignment and university affiliation is also shown for each member. The yearbook contains the full history of the special engineer detachment at Oak Ridge from 1943 thru 1945. It is divided into chapters that represent all of the operational units at Oak Ridge: X-10, Y-12, K-25, S-50, and the 'Castle'. The successful development of the atomic bomb during World War II would not have been possible without the contributions made by the special engineer detachment.
