Packing envelopes with atomic information material, USA 1946

In close-up, pamphlets and fact sheets on atomic energy are packed into envelopes ready for mailing. The materials came from the Office of Atomic Information of the Federation of American Scientists, which organized nationwide education campaigns on the atomic bomb in 1946. The aim was to inform citizens, teachers and community leaders about the political and social consequences of the new weapons technology and to advocate for international control of atomic energy.
