Manhattan Project
Please 'Click' on the Play Button to Hear About This Fabulous Collection
 Paul Filipkowski
was a former postal employee from Gainesville, Florida. He began
researching the postal history of the Manhattan Project in the 1980's. As
his interest expanded, his research and dedication led to the accumulation
of an impressive collection of memorabilia covering all aspects of the
Manhattan Project. Paul was the author of
numerous articles which appeared in various publications dealing with his
hobby and philately. Most of Paul's collection has been donated to
the Los Alamos National Historic Museum and the Smithsonian Museum of
American History. Although Paul passed way in 1991, his passion to
preserve the human history of the Manhattan Project lives on. This
collection was made possible through the tireless efforts of Joe Papalia,
a noted historian and collector, who has spent countless hours scanning
and transmitting the below documents to us for presentation here.This collection contains an impressive series of correspondence from a number of veterans of the Manhattan Project. Many of these letters offer insight into little known aspects of America's atomic bomb development effort during World War II. Note: There are two ways to view the photos in this gallery.
