BNTVA Appeal for Documentation

Further to the grant funding we have received from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust during the Covid-19 period, we have purchased a static copy stand and a portable digitising scanner. These high-quality pieces of equipment enable us to make excellent copies of documents and photographs that look almost as good as the originals. 


Due to the response that we received last week from the Advisory Military Sub-Committee, the BNTVA is collating as many documents as possible to add to the current collection. These documents are invaluable to the Association, as fragmented as they might seem by themselves. We would be grateful that if you hold any information, declassified memos from the time of the tests, letters from the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) or other facility, and would like to share them with us, please let us know. We are happy to accept copies, or originals, that we can scan and return. You may never realise how crucial a particular document can be in its own right – it may just be a fit for the context of something bigger. 


We have gained the interest of many MPs concerning the nuclear tests, associated feelings and health effects that we consider to part of working in a Special Operation, rather than part of a routine exercise. The more information that we have, which we can organise as part of a library, and link with current and previous research, the stronger the BNTVA will be.
