Explore THE ROSETTA WEB™
Enter the history through a facility, an organization, a material, an operation, a worker population, or a surviving record. Each path is designed to reconnect evidence that was created and preserved in different places.
Research pathways
Browse Rosetta Web’s research pathways alphabetically. Architecture and research tools may be available before substantive evidence collections are released; publication-cleared evidence is added only after review.
Decoder
Decode historical codewords, acronyms, aliases, component designations, material nomenclature, and archival terminology only as far as documented public and declassified evidence permits.
Open the terminology decoder →Components
Trace historical nuclear-weapons components through design authority, facilities, functions, materials, parent assemblies, programs, and evidence-qualified limits.
Open Component Genealogy →Contracts
Trace the contracts, prime contractors, subcontractors, procurement relationships, engineering firms, vendors, and surviving records that connected organizations to nuclear work.
Explore contracts & contractors →Community Review
Report errors, contribute historical evidence, identify missing sources, and follow a transparent review process that keeps submissions distinct from verified findings.
Report a correction or contribute evidence →Reading Room
Enter curated collections of historical nuclear-weapons records with provenance, release status, repository information, citation, and Rosetta context preserved.
Enter the Reading Room →Featured Record
Examine one significant primary document in depth—its provenance, historical context, evidentiary meaning, limits, Rosetta connections, and the questions it leaves behind.
Explore Document of the Month →Evidence
Find primary documents, archival collections, source trails, retrieval targets, and the repositories in which the historical record survives.
Explore documents & archives →Independent Review
Trace NIOSH methods, SEC research, Advisory Board proceedings, SC&A independent review, underlying historical evidence, and the status of disputed or reopened findings.
Enter the independent review center →Coverage
Browse the public 397-node crosswalk distinguishing current EEOICPA coverage from current NIOSH Special Exposure Cohort class listings.
Open Coverage Status →Method
Learn the common Rosetta vocabulary used to distinguish documented evidence, indirect evidence, unresolved questions, research leads, and missing-record targets.
Read the Evidence Status Key →Places
Follow laboratories, production plants, test sites, contractor locations, buildings, and other nodes across the nuclear weapons complex.
Explore facilities →Records Recovery
Turn documentary gaps into targeted records-recovery projects and track custodians, requests, responses, appeals, recovered records, and the evidence they ultimately support.
Enter the FOIA Research Center →Archive Skills
Learn how to read nuclear records as historical artifacts—provenance, markings, numbering systems, attachments, omissions, citations, and the documentary trails hidden inside a single page.
Open the archival research guide →Matter
Explore radioactive materials, isotopes, source forms, components, processes, and the documentary evidence establishing their use and movement.
Explore materials & components →Reading
Discover books and reference works on nuclear history, institutions, weapons production, science, labor, archives, and the historical nuclear complex.
Explore the Nuclear Bookshelf →Work
Examine who performed the work, where and when it occurred, the materials and processes involved, and the monitoring evidence that survives.
Explore occupational history →Events
Reconstruct fires, leaks, spills, releases, contamination events, equipment failures, emergency responses, monitoring, corrective actions, and the records that preserve them.
Explore occurrences & incidents →Activity
Connect production campaigns, weapons programs, experiments, tests, maintenance, special projects, and other work to facilities and records.
Explore operations & programs →Human Record
Preserve worker and participant recollections as distinct historical sources, connect them to documentary evidence, and keep corroboration, uncertainty, consent, and privacy visible.
Explore oral histories & workers’ voices →Institutions
Trace government authorities, laboratories, universities, contractors, suppliers, scientists, and worker populations through the records that connect them.
Explore people & organizations →Public Evidence
Explore publication-cleared records connecting facilities, organizations, materials, shipments, operations, worker populations, documents, and archives.
Explore public evidence →Tools
Use focused guides that bring together repositories, record groups, document series, retrieval strategies, and source pathways for deeper research.
Explore research guides →Open Questions
Follow unresolved documentary questions, missing records, archival targets, and promising source trails without confusing them with established historical findings.
Explore research leads →Research Process
Follow selected research questions as the evidence develops—what Rosetta initially understood, what the archival record revealed, what changed, and which questions remain open.
Open the Research Notebook →Movement
Reconstruct the movement of materials, sources, components, technology, and responsibility between facilities and organizations.
Explore shipments & connections →Network
Reconstruct the universities, contractors, machine shops, manufacturers, suppliers, military organizations, and specialized institutions behind the better-known nuclear facilities.
Explore the hidden complex →Recovery
Track records known, expected, referenced, or strongly indicated by surviving evidence but not yet recovered for public research.
Explore the missing evidence →Evidence before connection
Rosetta does not treat every proposed relationship as established fact. Public research distinguishes documented evidence from indirect evidence, research leads, unresolved questions, and missing-record targets.
How Rosetta evaluates evidence →Public release
The Explore page is a directory to public research as it is released. The private THE ROSETTA WEB™ Master Evidence system remains separate from the public website.
New pathways will become active only after their supporting material is reviewed and prepared for public presentation.
