wish to conduct archival research on the toxic legacy of weapons manufacture in the UK. My goal is understand not only the past ecological and public-health consequences of the production of conventional and non-conventional weapons, but also the long-term consequences in terms of contaminated land and water. One of the most important archival collections that I propose to examine is that of Environmental Protection UK, which was acquired by the Wellcome Library in 2012. For over a century Environmental Protection UK and its predecessors played an extremely important role in studying environmental problems; providing a forum for communication between citizens, scientific experts, and officials; and shaping both public opinion and governmental policy. At the Museum of English Rural Life I will consult the papers of the Council for the Protection of Rural England. specifically its records related to toxic and industrial wastes. Finally, at the University of Essex I will study the papers and correspondence of Sir Frederick Warner, FRS (1910-2010),
