Marshall Islands Program - Chronology of Events



This web page provides access to a time-ordered sequence of events and activities related to the U.S. government's nuclear weapons testing program that occurred in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958. Users may access this Chronology and its supporting documentation in several ways as follows:

The report, entitled "Marshall Islands Chronology, 1944 to 1990," is available in HTML for online browsing. Each event in the report is cross-referenced via hyperlinks to documents that support, and provide greater detail on, each event listed in the Chronology. Within the Chronology itself, supporting documents can be viewed by:

  • clicking on the highlighted number in parentheses that appears at the end of each event to bring up a bibliographic description of the document, and then

  • clicking on the highlighted letter/number combination that appears in the text or at the end of the bibliographic description. This action retrieves a separate file containing the supporting document as described by the bibliographic endnote.

A full listing of the bibliographic descriptions, along with links to their supporting documents, can be browsed independently of the Chronology document by selecting "Chronology Endnotes."

If the user wants to isolate all related sections of the Chronology by date or subject, a full-text search of the Chronology document (by date range, keyword or phrase) can be performed by accessing the Search system.
