Note on Sources
The text for this web site is a combination of original
material and adaptations from previous publications of the
Department of Energy
(including contractors), its predecessor agencies (primarily
the Atomic Energy Commission and the
Manhattan Engineer District), and other
government agencies. Adaptations run the gamut from
summaries to close paraphrases to text being taken
directly. This material was gathered and adapted for use
by the DOE's
Office of History and Heritage Resources. For detailed notes on what sources were used for any
particular page, see the footnote at the bottom of the page or
its entry in
Sources and Notes. For a discussion of the best general sources on the
Manhattan Project, see the
Suggested Readings.
To the best of our knowledge, all text and images on this web
site are in the public domain. Almost all of the
photographs were generated by government agencies, or by
contractors working for the government, and as such are not
subject to copyright. Most of these photographs were
acquired from government web sites or government
publications. In a handful of cases, photographs were
used whose copyright had expired; these were acquired from the
Library of Congress's web site. Some of the photographs have been "retouched,"
but in all cases the intention was only to restore the image
to its original form as much as is possible. (Click
here to see a "before and after" example of
retouching.) As with the text, the sources of all images are noted
in the footnotes and in the entries in "Sources and
Notes" for the pages in which they appear.
