Primary Source Hunt

****Only use these three online repositories to locate these sources—do not consult Google or any other search engine.**** Open these three links to digital repositories containing resources related to the dropping of the atomic bomb. Browse through each repository (Truman Library Collections, Voices of the Manhattan Project, and National Security Archive), and think about how useful these repositories would be to you if you were a historian seeking to write a biography on the scientist Leo Szilard (pronounced SIL-lard) who helped develop the atomic bomb and also campaigned against its use. https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/library https://www.manhattanprojectvoices.org/ https://www.atomicheritage.org/ As you explore each repository, try to locate the following primary sources that you might consult to write a chapter about Szilard’s campaign against dropping the atomic bomb. Each primary source is located in only one of the above repositories. Try your best to locate each source, but it is OK if you are not able to locate all three. If you are successful in your search, try skimming through the sources you find. 1.The transcription of the oral history interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, discussing scientists’ opposition to the use of the atomic bomb 2.A petition against the use of the atomic bomb circulated by Szilard directed toward President Truman 3.An interview with Lilli Hornig, a scientist who signed Szilard’s petition against the use of the atomic bomb To do this, develop search terms similar to the examples shown in the Module Two Module Overview. Only use these three online repositories to locate these sources—do not consult Google or any other search engine. Take notes on the search terms that are successful and keep the links to the sources you find. In two to three sentences, respond to each question. To develop your responses, combine your experience using search terms to locate the three primary sources in this module with your own reflections on the questions posed. Regardless of whether or not you were able to find all three primary sources, complete all question prompts before you submit your responses. If you were not able to find the primary sources, let your instructor know what search terms you did use so he or she can provide you with feedback on how to develop effective search terms. 1.Describe your overall experience locating these primary sources.
