History of Atomic Energy Collection, ca. 1898-1990.

Title: History of Atomic Energy Collection, ca. 1898-1990.

An archival reference library documenting the history of atomic energy from the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896 through the late 1980s. Includes the first published account of the discovery by Henri Becquerel. Also included are writings on the Manhattan Project, the congressional hearing of Robert Oppenheimer, and formerly secret government reports on the effects of the atom bomb. Cultural aspects of the atomic age are explored through the use of fictional works, poetry, drama, and music. The collection is divided into 15 sections beginning with early physics. Other sections include: The Manhattan Project through the bombings of Hiroshima and Hagasaki; the struggle for international control and early legislative history; atomic espionage; military aspects of atomic energy from 1949; civil defense; civilian atomic energy; and the social and psychological aspects of the atomic age.
