"They were found in a cave
outside Hiroshima by a U.S. serviceman who was part of the occupation
forces.  We have no information about who took the photos, what became
of him/her, or why the photos ended up in a cave. The serviceman held
onto to them in his personal collection until 1998, when he donated
them to the Hoover Archives [at Stanford University] with the provision that they not be
reproduced until 2008.  I included three of these photos in <A href="http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/smalloy/atomic_tragedy/index.html">my book</A>,
but I wanted to make them all publicly available."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/458D94E4-EBD1-4646-870B-2221E1EC6050/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
