SES 00 -0002965 - Lee Chambers-Schiller (University of Colorado)Nuclear Workers, Nuclear Town: Los Alamos, New Mexico, 1947-74The award supports a series of approximately 100 oral histories to be taken over a year's time. The subjects include Los Alamos weapons scientists of the second generation (that is, those who came to the laboratory during the post-war build-up of 1947-54), their spouses, laboratory administrators and non-scientific workers, community leaders, and those who provided professional services or goods to the community. Many of these latter were Hispanics or Native Americans who lived in surrounding communities and commuted to work in Los Alamos.The interviews will be recorded on audiotape by the primary investigator using a largely open-ended format. The basic question underlying the interviews will be: "How did the laboratory and its mission shape your work, community and family life?"The purpose of these interviews is to provide primary source material for a book on the history of the laboratory and the community of Los Alamos during the early years of the Cold War. An in-depth community study, the project is nevertheless intended to address questions that go beyond the particularity of the Los Alamos experience in order to contribute to historical understanding of the arms race and the impact of weapons science, militarization and security culture on Cold War America.

SES 00 -0002965 - Lee Chambers-Schiller（科罗拉多大学）核工人，核城镇：洛斯阿拉莫斯，新墨西哥州，1947- 74该奖项支持一系列大约100个口述历史，将在一年的时间。研究对象包括第二代洛斯阿拉莫斯武器科学家（即在1947- 1954年战后建设期间来到实验室的人）、他们的配偶、实验室管理人员和非科学工作者、社区领导人以及为社区提供专业服务或商品的人。后者中的许多人是居住在周围社区并通勤到洛斯阿拉莫斯工作的西班牙裔或美洲原住民。主要调查员将使用基本上开放式的格式将访谈记录在录音带上。面试的基本问题是：“实验室及其使命如何塑造你的工作、社区和家庭生活？“这些采访的目的是为一本关于冷战初期洛斯阿拉莫斯实验室和社区历史的书提供主要的原始材料。作为一项深入的社区研究，该项目旨在解决超越洛斯阿拉莫斯经验特殊性的问题，以促进对军备竞赛的历史理解以及武器科学，军事化和安全文化对冷战美国的影响。
