T here is an interesting history behind the development of Jefferson Lab. In 1983, the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee of the Department of Energy recommended the construction of a nuclear physics laboratory in Newport News, Virginia. This exciting history is chronicled in various reports kept in the archives. The scientific and technological breakthroughs accomplished at the lab are unprecedented anywhere in the world and should be accurately documented. Every individual at Jefferson Lab creates records during the course of the day.
