Collections management staff from the National Security Research Center (NSRC) recently digitized more than 10,000 McKibbin Cards to make them accessible on the Lab’s unclassified network, said NSRC collections management team leader Patricia Cote (WRS-NSRCMS). The cards, named after Dorothy McKibbin, who was known as the gatekeeper of Los Alamos because she was often the first point of contact for new hires, have become symbolic of the Lab when the world’s greatest minds secretly gathered to create the first atomic bomb and end World War II.
