Summary note

The purpose of this Web site is to tell the story of nuclear weapons through historical documents, photos, and videos. The intent is to create an online archive from the large body of U.S. government information about nuclear weapons. For the most part the original documents will be allowed to speak for themselves, with an occasional thread of narrative or clarification if it is helpful.
