Early days of Pugwash in Canada

                                          

Hello all! We have managed to identify the location of this photo as Pugwash, Canada at the August 1959 Conference. Apart from C.S. Eaton (third from the left) we are unsure of the identities of any of these people. Please comment or email us if you recognise anyone (quoting img 015). Thank you!

Soviet Mystery

In this photograph, possibly dated in the 1950s, we are able to identify Rotblat. However, we are unable to identify the nature of the event.

Do you have any information about the people involved or the nature of the event?

If you do, please send us an email at pugwashphotoarchive.gmail.com (quoting Img 095) or leave a comment beneath the post.

Thank you!

日本からこんにちは！Hello from Japan!

The first two monochrome photographs show Joseph Rotblat in Japan, possibly Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture as seen from the Daibutsu statue on the left. We are able to identify Rotblat with Professor Iwao Ogawa, who was among the 21 scientists participating in the first Pugwash Conference in 1957. We think this photo was taken in 1957 when Rotblat was invited by Hideki Yukawa to a radiology conference in Tokyo.  

Can you identify the woman in the first set of photos on the right?

In the next two coloured photographs, Rotblat is seen again in Kamakura with Ogawa. We think this was a personal visit sometime in the 1970s.

When do you think these photos were taken, and for what purposes?

If you have any information, please email us at pugwashphotoarhive@gmail.com and quote 'Early Pugwash in Japan', or leave a comment below. 

Thank you! 

Early days of Pugwash

We are able to identify Rotblat and possibly Dr. Patricia Lindop in the photograph. We are able to hazard a guess that this took place in the 1950s, possibly in the early 1960s as well.

Does anyone have any information on when or where this photograph took place?

If you have any information, please email pugwashphotoarchive@gmail.com and quote (img057) or leave a comment below this point. 

Thank you!

Joseph Rotblat and Checked Tablecloth

Here we have a picture of a young Joseph Rotblat giving a speech from a table with a checked tablecloth.

 Behind him is a chairman. 

Judging from Professor Rotblat's age, we believe this is the late 1950s or early 1960s.

Does anybody have any information on where or when this event took place?

'Mazo' Santander, Spain (1950s)

img052, a photo by pugwashphotoarchive on Flickr.

The copyright on the back of this group shot details Mazo, Santander, Spain. 

There are no listed Pugwash events in Spain from this time.

We think this was 1950s, do you know what this event may have been?

We can see Joseph Rotblat second from the right in the front row. Do you recognise anybody else? Could the man to Professor Rotblat's right be the same man as img090 (1960s 'Tropical Paradise')?
