"BIRTH OF A LABORATORY" EXHIBIT
 |
| The Corporate Archives invites
you to stop by and see our new display, "Birth of a
Laboratory," in the Building 800 Lobby display cases
and also at the Credit Union on Juan Tabo. This
is the first of several exhibits planned to run through
1999 in celebration of Sandia's 50th Anniversary. (Sandia
will be 50 years old on November 1, 1999.) "Birth
of a Laboratory" focuses on Sandia's early years and
features artifacts from the Corporate Archive's collections.
Highlights include retiree Ben Benjamin's hiring papers
from August 1948 (when it only cost $94.85 to travel
from Pittsburgh to Albuquerque); a piece of Building
824, one of Sandia's earliest buildings, donated to
the Archives by the late Harriet Goodness; and a section
devoted to origins of the Thunderbird logo with Sandia's
original 5-year anniversary pin and other anniversary
pins donated by retiree Fred Leckman and the Benefits
Department.
Call Myra O'Canna, Archivist,
at 844-6315 if you have any questions or any Sandia
memorabilia you would like to donate to the Corporate
Archives. |
Publications
| Carl Mora's
article, "Bridging the Cold War and the Twenty-First
Century: Chronicling the History of Sandia National
Laboratories" was published in the Journal of Government
Communication, Vol. 25, No. 4 (1998). Carl's
conference paper, " 'We Crash, Burn and Crush': A
History of Packaging at Sandia National Laboratories,
1978-1997" was published in PATRAM 98 Proceedings,
vol. 4, pp. 1616-23.
Rebecca Ullrich published
Tech Area II: A History, SAND98-1617
and has written a history of Building 828 that will
appear as a SAND report this fall. Both pieces
support DOE efforts to comply with the National
Historic Preservation Act; Sandia's cultural resources
management efforts are overseen by Joan Harris (7575).
Rebecca's work entails documenting all of
Sandia's buildings built before 1967 and writing
histories of those that are historically significant
in the Cold War context.
