Kit Shultz and Dan Ostergaard
Program: The
Hanford Settler Photograph Collection
The Department of
Energy’s Settler Photographic Collection
(1894-1945) consists of images depicting
life in the former towns of White Bluffs
and Hanford before the Manhattan Project
transformed the Hanford Site.
The presentation by Kit
Shultz and Dan Ostergaard, both of
Lockheed Martin, will describe the
process of inventorying and preparing
these pictures for posting on a public
website and transfer of the photos to
the Seattle branch of the National
Archives.
A second set of about 8700 negatives,
called the DuPont Collection, depicts
the early years of the Hanford Engineer
Works. It will similarly be
released to the public when processing
is complete.
