Collection Description

Historical Note

Dr. John A. Hammes, in association with Dr. Travis Osborne, was director of Civil Defense Research at the University of Georgia from 1962 to 1968. Twelve experimental stations were supervised on campus, including Stegeman Coliseum, involving individuals numbering from 30 to 1,000, and periods ranging from one day to two weeks. By the end of the project, over 3,000 citizens had volunteered. Three 16mm research films were produced, two of which were shown at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Civil Defense Program write ups appeared nationwide, and locally in The Research Reporter (Fall 1967) and The Alumni Record (August-September 1967).
