Welcome to THE ROSETTA JOURNAL™
The Rosetta Journal publishes evidence-based articles, archival discoveries, research notes, and investigations into the people, places, materials, and connections that shaped America's nuclear weapons enterprise.
Each entry is connected to the broader Rosetta research system and preserves the distinction between what the historical record establishes, what it suggests, and what remains unresolved.
Different documents. A larger story. A more complete history.
How universities, machine shops, chemical companies, and small industrial contractors became part of America's atomic enterprise.
The traditional map of America's nuclear weapons complex shows famous laboratories and production plants. Follow the contracts, materials, shipments, components, and workers, however, and a very different map begins to appear.
Close readings of revealing documents, collections, and newly recovered records.

EDITORIAL STANDARD
Readable history. Visible evidence.
Publication does not change the evidentiary status of an underlying Rosetta record. A documented relationship remains documented; a research lead remains a research lead; a missing record remains missing.
