Archival research in London

In late April Linda Ross spent a week at The National Archives (TNA) in Kew undertaking research for a forthcoming article. TNA is the official archive for the UK Government and houses the historic records of its nuclear industry. Linda was looking at United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) records from the early days of the nuclear project, with a view to analysing community relationships – both at home and abroad – within the context of socio-political change as the British empire declined.
