About The Site

In 2005, the world commemorated the 60th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This website was created for students, educators, and the general public to provide an easy to use collection of resources to better understand that milestone of human history.

We wanted to bring forward a large collection of digital assets, such as original texts, eyewitness accounts, rare photographs, videos and full color maps. This site is a member of the Nuclear Pathways project, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation's National Science Digital Library effort. Nuclear Pathways' goal makes information on historic and current nuclear issues more accessible and comprehensible to the public, educators, and students from middle school through graduate programs.
