Stanley Goldberg, National Museum of American History, conducted videotaped interviews with men and women from all phases of the Manhattan Project, often at their wartime workplaces. Topics include how they became involved in the Project, what their jobs entailed, and how they reacted to the ultimate use of their work. Collection Division 1 (Sessions 1-3) contains interviews with administrators and employees from the Hanford Engineering Works in the state of Washington. Visual documentation includes group interaction and a reactor face, controls, and equipment at the Hanford facility. Collection Division 2 (Sessions 4-8) contains interviews with line workers, engineers, and physicists at the Clinton Engineering Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Visual documentation includes group interaction, the interiors of the plants, and period photographs of Oak Ridge. Collection Division 3 (Sessions 9-12) contains interviews with physicists and their spouses who worked at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico. Sessions were taped in a studio in Boston, Massachusetts; visual documentation includes group interaction and photographs. Collection Division 4 (Sessions 13-16) contains interviews with physicists and administrators at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and the Trinity test site at Alamogordo, New Mexico.
