  • "This is an original photographic scrapbook documenting the 1947 Bikini Atoll Radiological Survey, also known as the Bikini Scientific Resurvey, conducted aboard the USS Chilton (APA-38) following the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests. The album contains original mounted photographs with typed captions, showing scientific personnel, radiological survey activities, marine and island ecosystems, and shipboard laboratories. The cover is faux leather with gold-stamped lettering 'BIKINI,' indicating a semi-official production for participants and institutions involved in the expedition. The photographs correspond with images in the University of Washington’s Donaldson Collection and other public domain government archives."
