Project Y Badge Photo Collection [Slides]
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The NSRC has several hundred badge photos of staff who worked at Los Alamos during the wartime Manhattan Project. The collection held by the NSRC represents an estimated 30% of the total badge photos taken at the secret wartime lab in Los Alamos, called Project Y. It is believed the majority of the badge photos of Project Y employees were destroyed or lost decades ago. The badge photos in the NSRC collections include famous staff, such as Oppenheimer, Groves, and many Nobel laureates who worked at Los Alamos. The existing photos have deteriorated significantly over the decades due to normal aging and previous poor handling procedures. Many photos had tears and non-archival tape applied.
