Abilene, Kansas

Although most of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library records have not been examined by our researchers, information gleaned from finding aids and passed on by the library's archivists have verified the significance of the collection. The Eisenhower Library contains a substantial amount (cubic footage unknown) of unclassified as well as classified material on nuclear testing of the 1950s.

The following series are known to contain unclassified material related to testing, fallout, and radiation protection: Administration, Ann Whitman Diary, Cabinet meetings, DDE Diaries, Legislative, Press Conferences, and the Cabinet Secretariat. Classified records can be found in these series: NSC, DDE/NSC, Gordon Gray papers, White House Control Files, the President's Committee on Scientists and Engineers, the President's Science Advisory Committee, the Office of the Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, the Office of the Special Assistant for Science and Technology, the White House Office of the National Security Council Staff, Office of the Staff Secretary, and the papers of John A. McCone, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission during the Eisenhower administration. Security clearances and permission of the originating agencies are required for the classified records and access is limited usually to government employees, making research in these records difficult to arrange.
