"Voices of the Manhattan Project" Now Online

In the conjunction with the Atomic Heritage Foundation, the Los Alamos Historical Society is proud to announce a new website that will be a boon to researchers and students of World War II. Entitled "Voices of the Manhattan Project," the new website features video oral histories and transcripts from people who worked on the project at locations throughout the country. They tell stories of work on the project, life during World War II, and much more. The site was made possible by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Kerr Foundation, and the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
