Overview
The
Human
Radiation Experiments Information Management System was originally
commissioned by the Department of Energy. It was designed by Argonne
National Laboratory to allow users to search for imaged historical
radiation documents that have gone through the OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
process. The Department of Energy desired to create a simple, accessible
collection of historical records on radiation experiment research. HREX
currently contains over 250,000 pages of historical documents from the
following agencies: Department of
Defense (DoD), Department of
Energy (DOE), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA), and
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The
creation of the database began in 1993 with a system of locating and identifying
the records of human radiation experiments conducted by the different agencies.
The documents are related to experiments conducted at both government and
non-government facilities, beginning in the 1940s. HREX affords users the
ability to see the historical context in which these experiments took place.
The agencies contribute valuable information to this ongoing effort . This
initiative is close to completion. However, case research will continue
until all cases are thoroughly addressed.
