| Ed Westcott in the Clinton Engineer Works darkroom 1945.* |
Many of the photos illustrating the Manhattan Project posts of this blog are the work of James Edward Westcott, one of the few people permitted to have a camera in the Oak Ridge area during that time.
His monumental body of work stands as the principal photographic record of the construction and operation of the Oak Ridge production facilities and of civilian life in the "city behind the fence".
