Hanford Health Information Archives
1944–2000
Size unknown
The Hanford Health Information Archives was a voluntary repository of information about the personal health and experiences of individuals who were or may have been exposed to radiation released from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation from 1944 to 1972. Information was voluntarily contributed to the Archives by individuals who lived or spent time in the Hanford exposure area during those years. These individuals are sometimes referred to as "Hanford downwinders." The exposure area extended across Eastern Washington, northeastern Oregon and much of Idaho, into Montana and Canada, and through the Columbia River downstream from Hanford to Pacific coastal areas. The largest releases of radioactive materials from Hanford occurred from 1944 to 1972.
Launched by Hanford Health Information Network (HHIN), the Archives was included in the Network's original plan which was submitted to the U.S. Congress by the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho in 1991. One of the activities in the plan called for a means for individuals to be recognized as "potentially affected and to deposit information in a confidential archive." In this way "vital information will not be lost and persons who may have been exposed to radiation will have an opportunity to contribute information that may add to the knowledge about the health effects of exposure to radiation." After federal funding was eliminated in 2000, the Archives transferred to Gonzaga University and stopped accepting new additions. The 635 collections donated by individuals and organizations include health surveys, photographs, medical and occupational records and oral history tapes and transcriptions.
