Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Security Research Center (NSRC), 2023. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Single sheet, printed on both sides. The format is approximately 11 inches by 17 inches. This poster has some curves and slight bends but no creases. This is suitable for framing. Striking images cover most of the front of the poster with limited text at the bottom. The other side presents Historical images from the NSRC that are featured on this poster. There are images on the back of The Gadget, General Leslie R. Groves, Little Boy, Fat Man, The Manhattan Project and J. Robert Oppenheimer. This is a poster for a Los Alamos National Laboratory's Eightieth anniversary. The scientific achievements from the Lab's earliest days were not only remarkable, they also form its legacy. It began as a secret laboratory, under the leadership of Manhattan Project leader General Leslie Groves and first Lab Director and physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Its charge to develop the first-ever atomic weapons to help end World War II. This goal required extraordinary innovation driven by scientific discovery and creative engineering. In the eight decades that have followed, its national security mission has continued. Its innovative science began in 1943 and will endure into the future. More

Striking images cover most of the front of the poster with limited text at the bottom. Lab physicist Louis Rosen proposed building the world's most-advanced nuclear science facility and on June 9, 1972, the full design energy of 800,000,000 electron volts was achieved for the first time. Since then, LANSCE (the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center) has contributed to a range of national security work by Los Alamos scientists and their counterparts from around the world. Milestones from LANSCE's five decades are preserved in the National Security Research Center, the Lab's classified library. Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of the sixteen research and development laboratories of the United States Department of Energy. Best known for its central role in helping develop the first atomic bomb, LANL is one of the world's largest and most advanced scientific institutions. Los Alamos was established in 1943 and served as the main hub for conducting and coordinating nuclear research, bringing together some of the world's most famous scientists. After the war ended in 1945, it became known universally as Los Alamos. Today, Los Alamos conducts multidisciplinary research in fields such as national security, space exploration, nuclear fusion, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. More

In March 1952, Los Alamos completed its first electronic computer, the MANIAC (Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator, and Computer). Its 3,000 vacuum tubes made MANIAC nearly 300 times faster than the mechanical calculators it replaced. The MANIAC's first programmers were women who had worked as human computers. Their programs allowed the MANIAC to break new ground in weapons science, genetics, chaos theory, musicology, and even computerized chess, pioneering the Lab's continuing legacy of computing innovation. A horseshoe was hung next to the computer for good luck. Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of the sixteen research and development laboratories of the United States Department of Energy.

Set of seven 8.5 inch by 11 inch mini-posters (printed on one side only) on the activities and capabilities of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Security Research Center. Undated, believed circa 2022. Colorfully illustrated. This set of one-pagers/mini-posters include an overview sheet that addresses About Us, Digitization Capabilities, Holdings, and Our Services; a colorful graphic illustrating aspects of laboratory history, environmental reports, engineering, production and national security; Collections by Subject; Collections by Media Type,Library Comparison (by Holdings); Our Expertise, and Customers. The mission of the Los Alamos National Laboratory's National Security Research Center is to solve national security challenges through simultaneous excellence. We achieve maximum impact on strategic national security priorities by integrating research and development solutions with operational excellence and community engagement. As a federally funded research and development center, Los Alamos National Laboratory aligns our strategic plan with priorities set by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE NNSA) and key national strategy guidance documents. We execute work across all of DOE’s missions: national security, science, energy, and environmental management. Scientific and engineering capabilities developed through LANL’s stockpile research are part of what makes DOE and NNSA a science, technology, and engineering powerhouse for the nation. More

The format is approximately 11 inches by 17 inches. This poster has some curves and slight bends but no creases. This is suitable for framing. Striking images, with a image of General Leslie Groves prominently displayed, cover most of the front of the poster with limited text at the bottom. General Leslie Groves led the Manhattan Projects, the U.S. government's top-secret effort to create atomic weapons during World War II. Known as brusque and driven, Groves was just one of hundreds of military members who helped ensure the project's wartime success. At Los Alamos, military members included future Lab director Norris Bradbury, a naval reserve commander, Army engineer Val Fitch, who was later awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics; William "Deak" Parsons, a naval officer and an ordnance expert, and Army officer Miriam White Campbell, who drew the designs for the Little Boy weapon.
