Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Information and Computing Sciences Division
LBL Information and Computing Sciences Division records of Joseph G. Hamilton and the Biomedical Research Group [microform], 1943-1975.
These records contain the microfilm copies of the collection of data, research, notes, memos, biographies, reports, correspondence, and publications dealing with radiation experiments conducted by Joseph Hamilton and the Biomedical Research Group of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Information and Computing Sciences Division. These records document experiments and research in the areas of the effects of radiation and radioactive elements and in some cases involve human experiments. Studies include astatine in patients with goiter or adenoma and a study of milk and baby food in babies, tracing natural levels of strontium and other elements.
The laboratory was founded as the University of California Radiation Laboratory in 1931 by Ernest Orlando Lawrence, a University of California Berkeley physicist who won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics for his invention of the cyclotron, a circular particle accelerator that opened the door to high-energy physics. It is a United States Department of Energy National Laboratory, operated by the University of California. The name of the laboratory has evolved since its founding: Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (1931-1958), the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (1959-1995), and currently the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1995-present).
