Hanford Health Information Archives.
Hanford Health Information Archives records.
Collection includes personal health and experiences donated by "Hanford downwinders" - people exposed to radiation released from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in southeastern Washington state from 1944 to 1972. People who lived in or visited the areas downwind from Hanford, or on the Columbia river downstream from Hanford are contributing to the Archives' collections.
The Archives opened on July 24, 1996. It was established at the request of people whose experiences it preserves who wanted an opportunity to contribute information that may add to the knowledge about the health effects of radiation exposure. This project is the nation's first and only public collection of health information and personal records from people exposed to radiation released from Hanford. It is designed to enable Hanford downwinders to compare their health experiences with the experiences of others who lived in the exposure area. The Archives is a project of the Hanford Health Information Network and Gonzaga University. The Network is sponsored and managed by the state health agencies of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, in concert with nine Indian nations. A citizen advisory board provides guidence on the Archives' program and policy matters.
