HISTORY DIVISION
Germantown, Maryland
The History Division of the Department of Energy (DOE) in Germantown maintains the official files of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), which include all staff papers, correspondence, and other materials related to the official actions of the Commissioners from 1946 to 1975. The official files also contain the minutes of all Commission meetings and, for some years, transcripts of these meetings as well as papers of a number of the Commissioners. The History Division also has custody of the records of the AEC General Manager and his staff, records of many of the operating divisions at the AEC headquarters, and minutes of the General Advisory Committee meetings. The records of the AEC Division of Biology and Medicine and the Division of Military Application contain essential information related to fallout.
Two special collections were added to the Division's holdings in 1988: the Tommy McCraw and L. Joe Deal collections. These two individuals--long time AEC/DOE employees--were closely involved in the testing, radiation monitoring, and health and safety aspects of nuclear test programs.
Most of the above records have been screened in the Off-Site Radiation Exposure Review Project, with the review continuing. Pertinent materials have been reproduced and sent to the CIC in Las Vegas.
