| Collection Name: | Alsos Digital Library for Nuclear Issues
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | The Alsos Digital Library is an annotated bibliography describing over 2,000 books, articles, films, CDs, and web sites that together offer a broad, balanced perspective on current and historical nuclear issues. The references trace the development of nuclear science, the Manhattan Project, the Cold War arms race, and the post-Cold War world of proliferation and terrorism. The Alsos project integrates these references into a structured collection allowing users to examine this important period of history from many perspectives. The scope of the Library's references is broader than that of current print bibliographies, which tend to focus on a single issue or discipline. (Note: "Alsos" was the code name for the US Army's intelligence unit assigned to collect information on the German atomic bomb projects. The Alsos unit landed in France in June 1944 and followed US forces into Germany.) |

| Resource Title: | The Atomic Photographers Guild: Visibility and Invisibility in the Nuclear Era
|
|---|
| Description: | This exhibition catalogue contains essays and 16 black and white photographs from the travelling exhibit of the same name, documenting what the curators call the “post–cloud atomic landscape” (p. 3). In the catalogue, they seek to move beyond the depiction of all things atomic through the mushroom cloud by documenting the visualization of the entire atomic culture, from the atomic landscape to factories, communities, artifacts and victims. The title alludes to that effort, as the exhibition makes visible the invisibility of the super–secret atomic culture, as well as the invisible dangers of radiation and contamination. |
