THE ROSETTA WEB™

History. Evidence. Connections.

Reconstructing the hidden relationships among the facilities, contractors, universities, laboratories, materials, shipments, workers, operations, and archival records that built the American nuclear weapons complex.

A networked history

The nuclear weapons complex was a system.

Rosetta Web studies movement and connection: contracts, people, materials, technologies, records, and occupational evidence crossing organizational and geographic boundaries.

Explore

Six ways into the history.

Organizations

Universities, laboratories, contractors, suppliers, and hidden industrial participants.

Project scope →

Materials

Uranium, plutonium, thorium, tritium, promethium, krypton, and other materials.

Research method →

Shipments

Documented movement of materials, sources, components, and receiving relationships.

Records & archives →

Workers & Exposure

Operations, work populations, pathways, monitoring evidence, and dose-reconstruction questions.

EEOICPA / SEC →

Evidence Archive

Primary documents, archival collections, retrieval guides, and missing-record targets.

Explore archives →

Evidence matters

The connection is only as strong as the record behind it.

Rosetta Web is designed to show not just relationships, but the evidentiary weight supporting them. The public site will distinguish what is documented from what remains unresolved or requires additional records.

Our evidence system →
Documented

Direct evidence establishes the relationship.

Documented — Aggregate/Purchase

Evidence supports a broader procurement or material relationship.

Indirectly Documented

Multiple records support the relationship.

Research Lead

Evidence warrants further investigation.

Unresolved

Evidence is conflicting or incomplete.

Missing-Record Target

A record should exist but has not yet been recovered.

“Historical research is not complete when the facts are discovered, but when their connections are understood.”

Public release strategy

Built carefully, released deliberately.

Website v1.1 is an informational research site. The private Rosetta Web evidence workbook remains offline and separate.

Research Master

Internal working evidence, notes, unresolved questions, and retrieval targets remain private.

Verification Layer

Records intended for publication are checked, classified, and documented first.

Publication Layer

Only reviewed material moves to RosettaWeb.org.
