2003 Additions

 Go To 2004 Additions to Web Site  

We have more than 3,400 pages of content on this web site and will be adding 100 to 200 pages per month.  We estimate that we will have close to 6,000 pages of content by the end of 2004.  With this type of volume, we hope to complete an overhaul of the web site using the latest web development technology to make it easier to locate documents and photos.  We anticipate that this re-design will take two years to complete.  Part of this new design will be the inclusion of artifacts that have been donated to our organization.  We encourage anyone having photos or documents pertaining to the Manhattan Project consider donating them to our organization.  We are a non-profit corporation and will make sure that the material is well-preserved and, more importantly, we will make it available in our new Virtual Museum.  Below is a listing of the material that was added to the web site in 2003
