Frank J. Hartman papers, 1904-1977 (inclusive)

Extent:
7.5 linear feet (16 containers, 2 volumes, 5 framed items)
Abstract:
Frank Janczak Hartman (1893-1986) was a radium specialist and consultant who also worked as a "radium hound," searching for pieces lost by area hospitals and industry until his retirement in 1956. The Frank J. Hartman papers provide an insightful view into the changes atomic energy brought to society. Hartman, who owned two companies dealing with radium, clearly saw the product's value, but he also recognized the potential dangers and the damage that could result from the improper usage, storage and disposal of these materials. This collection will be extremely valuable to a researcher interested in Frank J. Hartman; the radium industry, sales and recovery; atomic energy in Canada; the history of the discovery of radium and the Curie family; and how atomic energy affected the United States. This collection is arranged into eight series: "Correspondence," "Scrapbooks," Diaries and Notes," "Research files," "Promotional materials and equipment lists," "Curie family information,"...(see more)
