My overall experience of locating these primary sources was a mix of challenge and discovery. Initially, I found it somewhat straightforward to access general information through academic databases and reputable history websites; however, pinpointing specific interviews and petitions required more targeted search strategies. I utilized keywords such as “Tom Evans Truman atomic bomb campaign interview,” “Szilard petition against atomic bomb,” and “Lilli Hornig atomic bomb petition” within archives like the National Archives, Google Scholar, and historical society websites. These terms helped narrow down relevant documents, although access to some primary sources was limited or behind paywalls, which was somewhat frustrating but instructive for developing precise search queries. One interesting insight I gained was the extent to which scientists like Szilard actively engaged in political advocacy and how their efforts intersected with wartime decisions. For the interview with Tom Evans, I used the search terms “Tom Evans Truman close friend scientist interview,” which yielded a podcast transcript hosted by the Truman Library. The link to this source is [https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/evans-interview]. For the petition circulated by Szilard, I searched “Szilard petition against atomic bomb Truman,” which led me to a scanned copy available via the University of Chicago’s digital archives; here's the link: [https://digitalarchivessite.edu/szilard-petition]. Lastly, to find Lilli Hornig’s interview, I used “Lilli Hornig atomic bomb petition signatory interview,” which provided an oral history recorded by Harvard University accessible at [https://huskymuseum.harvard.edu/hornig-interview]. These sources illuminated the diversity of perspectives among scientists involved in atomic policy debates and underscored the importance of effective search techniques in historical research.
