Washington Association of Scientists records, 1947-1957.
Correspondence, constitution, bylaws, minutes of meetings and elections, financial records, mailing lists, policy statements, records of activities, and memoranda of an organization devoted to public education and agitation for civilian and international control of atomic energy, collective security, and increased scientific research.
The Washington Association of Scientists was formed in January, 1946, to impress upon the public the potentialities of atomic energy, and to urge satisfactory methods of control and development of this source of energy. Like similar groups in other parts of the country, it carried on various programs of education and agitation, directed toward both the general public and the government, and aimed at not only civilian and international control of atomic energy, but collective security, the promotion of scientific research and the integrity of the scientific profession as well. Active into 1957, but thereafter subsided. However, there is no record of the organization having been formally disbanded.
