WSU history graduate students studying the oral histories of the Hanford Site have created an exhibit of its labor force and residents, running through May 16 in the atrium exhibit case of Terrell Library at WSU Pullman.
“Hanford’s Voices: Exploring Labor at Hanford Through the Stories of its Residents” pulled together students from the Vancouver, Tri-Cities and Pullman campuses enrolled in History 528, “Seminar in Public History,” according to course participant and history master’s student Robert Franklin.
To create the exhibit, the students relied on the Hanford History Partnership, which has collected narratives of the men and women who lived in the area before 1943 and who worked at the Hanford Site after.
