600 Interviews from the men and women who worked on the Manhattan Project

Through our collaboration with the Atomic Heritage Foundation, we have 600 interviews of the men and women who worked on the Manhattan Project on manhattanprojectvoices.org. This public archive of oral history collections of Manhattan Project veterans and their family members includes audiovisual interviews with General Leslie R. Groves, General Paul Tibbets, and a transcript of an interview with J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Virtual Tours of the Manhattan Project Sites

It is again through our partnership with the Atomic Heritage Foundation that we welcome you to "Ranger in Your Pocket," an in-depth website (atomicheritage.org/tours) filled with virtual tours of Manhattan Project sites. Each tour features audio/visual vignettes drawn from interviews with Manhattan Project veterans and their families. Take a self-guided tour of Hanford's B Reactor or Bathtub Row at Los Alamos, all from the comfort of your home.

Nuclear Science and STEM Related Curriculum

Nuclear Science Week (NSW) is an international, broadly observed week-long celebration to focus local, regional, national and international interest on all aspects of nuclear science. This event was founded by the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History eleven years ago, and we continue to chair the international event and operate the amazing website. NSW takes place each year on the third week of October, and each day of NSW provides for learning about the contributions, innovations, and opportunities that can be found by exploring nuclear science. Nuclearscienceweek.org promotes education in many areas of STEM and nuclear science, and it is our pleasure to share our LESSONS page with a rich assortment of nuclear and STEM related curriculum.
