The Albuquerque Field Office became the records depository for all records relating to the early days of continental testing, but few of the early records remain in its custody. There are also earlier records stored in the records center which pertain to airplane design for nuclear weapons from the Manhattan Engineer District. Approximately 180 linear feet were reviewed and screened as potentially relevant. Of those, 3.4 cubic feet were copied for the CIC. These documents focus on the continental testing program from 1949 through 1963. Also retrieved from this collection and sent directly to the CIC was an extensive set of press releases from the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Nevada Field Offices.
