FREE ADMISSION

THIS GALLERY EXHIBIT WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY, SEPT. 14, UNTIL FRIDAY, NOV. 20.

NOTICE: ADMISSION HOURS VARY BY DAY;  A LIST OF DAILY HOURS IS AVAILABLE HERE.

• Monday – Wednesday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. CT
• Thursday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT
• Sunday, 3 – 9 p.m. CT

Everyone is welcome to stop by the gallery and atrium on the first floor of Mass Media and Technology Hall (MMTH) on the Western Kentucky University campus to explore the historic photographs of Ed Westcott and Joe O’Donnell.

Westcott (1920 - ) worked for the U.S. government in the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, area during the Manhattan Project in the 1940’s and was one of the only people allowed to have a camera on the Oak Ridge plants during this secretive time of the development of the atomic bomb. O’Donnell (1922-2007) was a photojournalist for the United States Information Agency. As a marine, he was one of the first foot soldiers on the ground in Japan immediately after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Westcott’s images display an America that the public was not allowed to witness, as thousands of citizens were employed in Oak Ridge to help build the atomic weapons that eventually brought an end to World War II. His images inspired Denise Kiernan to write her bestselling book, “The Girls of Atomic City." O’Donnell was on the other side of the world documenting the indiscriminate wrath this weapon unleashed on a nation at war with the United States.

Parking is free all day Sunday in most campus parking lots and after 4:30 p.m. in the Chestnut Street lot Monday through Friday. For metered parking, download this map. MMTH is located by number 4. https://www.wku.edu/transportation/maps/14-15_meter_map.pdf

On several trips to South Africa, Nancy Baird purchased basketry, wood carvings, jewelry and art from women selling their arts and craft on the streets and in their native-run shops. Her collection serves as a reminder of Nancy’s experiences on safari with husband Tom and of the research trips taken to study British women in the country in the early 19^th century. These cases show a sampling of her collection acquired while in South Africa.

FREE ADMISSION

THIS GALLERY EXHIBIT WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY, SEPT. 14, UNTIL FRIDAY, NOV. 20.

NOTICE: ADMISSION HOURS VARY BY DAY;  A LIST OF DAILY HOURS IS AVAILABLE HERE.

• Monday – Wednesday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. CT
• Thursday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT
• Sunday, 3 – 9 p.m. CT

Everyone is welcome to stop by the gallery and atrium on the first floor of Mass Media and Technology Hall (MMTH) on the Western Kentucky University campus to explore the historic photographs of Ed Westcott and Joe O’Donnell.

Westcott (1920 - ) worked for the U.S. government in the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, area during the Manhattan Project in the 1940’s and was one of the only people allowed to have a camera on the Oak Ridge plants during this secretive time of the development of the atomic bomb. O’Donnell (1922-2007) was a photojournalist for the United States Information Agency. As a marine, he was one of the first foot soldiers on the ground in Japan immediately after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Westcott’s images display an America that the public was not allowed to witness, as thousands of citizens were employed in Oak Ridge to help build the atomic weapons that eventually brought an end to World War II. His images inspired Denise Kiernan to write her bestselling book, “The Girls of Atomic City." O’Donnell was on the other side of the world documenting the indiscriminate wrath this weapon unleashed on a nation at war with the United States.

FREE ADMISSION; WKU student "swipeable" event

Denise Kiernan is the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls of Atomic City (Touchstone/ Simon & Schuster), the true story of young women living in a secret government city during World War II while unknowingly working on the first atomic bomb. Kiernan has been working as a writer for nearly 20 years. Her work has been published in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Village Voice, Ms. Magazine, Reader's Digest, Discover and many more publications. She has also worked in television, serving as head writer for ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"  during its Emmy award-winning first season and has produced for media outlets such as ESPN and MSNBC. She has authored several popular history titles including Signing Their Lives Away, Signing Their Rights Away, and Stuff Every American Should Know. Her most recent book, The Girls of Atomic City, is a New York Times, Los Angeles Times and NPR Bestseller, and was named as one of Amazon's Top 100 Best Books of 2013. She has been a featured guest on NPR's "Weekend Edition," PBS NewsHour, MSNBC Morning Joe and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

In one of her most popular talks, Kiernan takes audiences back in time and into a top-secret world where young women and men lived and worked surrounded by spies and secrecy, forbidden to speak of their work, even to each other, as the United States worked to face the challenges of World War II and the Manhattan Project raced to harness nuclear power. A lively and engaging speaker, Kiernan enthralls audiences with this story of adventure, intrigue, sacrifice and controversy. There will be a pre-lecture reception at Mass Media and Technology Hall atrium and gallery where more than 50 historic photographs of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Japan days after the bombs were dropped will be on display.

The event is sponsored by WKU's Potter College, the History Department and the School of Journalism & Broadcasting.

O’Donnell (1922-2007) was a photojournalist for the United States Information Agency. As a marine, he was one of the first foot soldiers on the ground in Japan immediately after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Westcott’s images display an America that the public was not allowed to witness, as thousands of citizens were employed in Oak Ridge to help build the atomic weapons that eventually brought an end to World War II. His images inspired Denise Kiernan to write her bestselling book, “The Girls of Atomic City." O’Donnell was on the other side of the world documenting the indiscriminate wrath this weapon unleashed on a nation at war with the United States.
