Sunny Swiss day at the 16th Pugwash workshop (1988)


This lovely photograph is from the 16th Pugwash workshop on nuclear forces in Geneva, Switzerland that took place between 11 and 13 June 1988. We have been able to identify Rotblat, Calogero, Holdren, Kapaln, Beach, Kelleher, Feld and McNamara in the photograph thus far. 

The workshop was reported in our newsletter published in July 1988, noting other participants such as Lord Zuckerman and Colonel Vassilii Grishayev, but we would need more help in identifying the rest of the participants in this photograph.

If you have any information please email us at pugwashphotoarchive@gmail.com (quote img 504) or comment below this post. Thanks!

Peruvian Puzzle





In these photos we have identified F. Calogero, E. Ferrero-Costa, Joseph Rotblat and John Holdren.
 
These two photos are both dated 3rd of November 1991, which was
 the first day of the 3rd Workshop on Non-Military Dimensions of Global Security: Environment and Development in Latin America, held in Lima, Peru.
 
We have identified Calogero, Rotblat and Holdren in the top picture, but we can not be sure which of the two men second and third from the left is E. Ferrero-Costa. All of these four men attended this workshop. We have not identified the person sitting next to Ferrero-Costa. Do you know who he is?

Pugwash in China

 
 
This photo is one of a large number from the 41st Conference held in Beijing, China in September 1991.
 
We think the man on the left could be Samuel Okoye (Nigeria) and that the man on the right is possibly Emmanuel Erskine (Ghana). Are we right?

28th Conference in Varna, Bulgaria (1978)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Who can you identify in this group photo from the 28th Conference in Varna, Bulgaria (1978)?
In addition to Joseph Rotblat, we think we can identify Kaplan, who is third from the left in the front row, and fifth from the left could be Essam Galal.

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?
