- Images of nuclear explosions, atomic test sites, and apocalypse abound in movies, novels, comics, and other mediums of American popular culture, but how did U.S. Government Documents help shape these symbols of doomed fate? Let’s examine the various government documents published by the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA) in the 1950s and the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization (OCDM) during the 1960s that were popularized through the media. Extensive bibliographies and digital repositories of these resources will be shared via the website listed in the handout, including such government resources as Internet Archive's collection of Civil Defense films and documents and "atomic attack survival guides" published by the Government Printing Office that are available at your local Federal Depository Library.
