Manhattan Project Defined

The Manhattan Project was the wartime effort to design and build the first nuclear weapons (Atomic Bomb). A $2-billion effort, centered at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash., was required to obtain sufficient amounts of the two necessary isotopes, uranium-235 and plutonium-239. The design and building of the bombs took place at Los Alamos, N.Mex., where J. Robert Oppenheimer directed a large group of American and European-refugee scientists. Following the test explosion of a plutonium device on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, N.Mex., a uranium bomb and a plutonium bomb were dropped on, respectively, Hiroshima (Aug. 6) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9).

  • Richard Howe: The Manhattan Street Corners - photos of every street corner in Manhattan: "Richard Howe?s photographs of Manhattan street corners capture the many identities of a multi-faceted city. The sequences of images read like a film where we are peering into the lives of the people who define the city?s character. This is a poignant way to distinguish New York, presented in a fashion that pays great respect to the aesthetics of photography. The New-York Historical Society looks forward to including these works in our collections.&q uot;
