Manhattan Project Veteran Collections
Don't miss Veteran Recollections (biographies & stories) here!
We are in the process of consolidating all of our Veteran
Collections in one place. This is an enormous task but one which
will enable our visitors to realize the full value of our web site.
While we have most of the "official" photos and documents related to the
Manhattan Project posted on this site, the Veteran Collections offer our
visitors hundreds of personal photos and documents which have been
submitted to us by veterans and/or their families. In other words,
you won't find this history anywhere else on the Internet. We have
more than 50 collections yet to be added, so check back often. We have
an on-going out-reach program to help build this collection area of our
web site. If you have photos and/or documents pertaining to a
Manhattan Project veteran, please
click here to find out how to submit them to us. This section is under construction! |
