When you visit Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the Los Alamos History Museum you walk in the shadow of history. The Fuller Lodge porch, which you can visit today, was the site of the Army-Navy E Award presentation on October 16, 1945. Fuller Lodge was also used for the filming of this scene in the 2023 Oppenheimer movie.

Behind the scenes in the Archives!

Mountmaking is the process of designing, fabricating, and installing custom supports that safely display and protect collection objects and artifacts—whether they’re on exhibit or in storage. Each object presents its own challenges, and sometimes the best solution requires a little ingenuity.

In this case, our Museum/Collection Specialist, with help from our Archivist, is creating a custom mount for a set of ID cards belonging to a local student from the 1960s. The goal? To present these small pieces of history clearly while keeping them safe for future generations.
